Scouting Report: Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Toronto Blue Jays | 1B
Overall
Summary
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is experiencing a severe power outage in 2026, hitting only 2-3 home runs through 41 games (on pace for ~10 HRs). Despite maintaining a .300+ batting average and .386 OBP, he has gone 50+ consecutive plate appearances without an extra-base hit since April 28. His slugging percentage (.773) is at career lows. The 27-year-old is struggling with pressure from team injuries and expectations following his $500M contract extension, admitting he feels rushed and is trying to do too much. His May performance has been particularly alarming with a .188 average over 15 days and negative WAR. Insiders note he's in a "dark place" mentally despite being healthy and playing daily.
Strengths
- Maintaining .300+ batting average
