Sporting News names Blue Jays Vladimir Guerrero AL Comeback Player of the Year
Guerrero has an unbelievable 2024 season with the Blue Jays as he hit 30 homeruns with a career high batting average of .323 and 103 RBIs to go along with 199 hits on the season.
Guerrero had his best season since nearly winning AL MVP in 2021, hitting a career-best .323 with 30 home runs and 103 RBI. Guerrero's OPS (.940) was just below his mark of 1.002 from three seasons ago while his OPS+, a stat that measures his offensive production relative to league average, was 166. -TSN
The 2024 season was the fourth year in a row that Guerrero was voted an all-star and has a massive improvement from his 2023 season where he had 26 homeruns and 94 RBIs to go along with a .264 batting average.
He made the All-Star team for the fourth consecutive season and finished as the team leader in homers, RBI, batting average, OPS, slugging percentage (.544) and games played (159).
The 25-year-old's season was a huge improvement on a largely disappointing 2023, where Guerrero slashed .264/.345/.444 with 26 homers and 94 RBI. -TSN
This is one more reason for the Blue Jays to stop messing around and get him signed to a long term extension.
