I also wonder if the Jays are working under some interesting theories regarding their pinch hitters.
Pinch hitting is hard and it seems like most players take a big hit in production when they do it.
It might make sense to use batters who can simply put the ball in play and try to get some BABIP luck.
Maybe that's why the Jays pinch hit with IKF, Straw, France, etc. since they don't strike out much.
SSS alert (always will be when it comes to pinch hitting), but:
IKF has a 134 wRC+ in 30 pinch hit plate appearances
Schneider has a 27 wRC+ in 32 PAs
