George Springer Still leads all active players in leadoff homeruns
As we approach the beginning of the regular season, Blue Jays fans have a lot to look forward to with the roster we have put together this year.
One player that will surely make a big difference once again is George Springer, the 34 year-old had a solid year last year with 21 HR, 72 RBI, .264 BA and will hopefully bring even more to the table this year.
A stat was announced yesterday that is quite impressive regarding Springer. The Jays #4 leads all active players in leadoff homeruns throughout his career with 57. Additionally, in the all-time list of lead off homeruns, Springer only trails 1 player, Oakland legend, Rickey Henderson.
George Springer has the most leadoff home runs among all active players and the second among any player. Soriano is third on the list with 54!
