That Vladimir Guerrero Jr. spend 12 days without connecting a home run is newsworthy in the Major Leagues because he is one of the most powerful hitters in the MLB in the last four years, and more to come 27 four corner stakes.
In his first eight games of the season 2022 the ‘Condecito’ left five times for the street, including three against the New York Yankees on the road. He led the list of home runs and the main newspapers talked about the projections of the 21 year old Dominican.
His last home run was against the Oakland Athletics in Toronto last 15 of April and gave a warning to all of power. He was a killer homer to right field. However, since that day he has not known what it is to hit a four corner hit.
Addition 12 days, including this Thursday, in a row without a home run.
Is it to worry?
Definitely not, sum 21 hits in 68 tunos which translates into an average of .309. He has walked nine times and struck out 15 times. He can’t be categorized as an offensive slump, but it is true that he stopped hitting hard balls.
In the American League home run list he is fourth, tied with Salvador Pérez and Ty France, for his five home runs. Ahead he has José Ramírez (6), Byron Buxton (6) and Anthony Rizzo (8).
This week marked the 3rd anniversary of his premiere in the big top with Toronto Blue Jays uniform.
