Addison Barger Homers Again in Victory
Addison Barger went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 8-4 win against the Athletics. The 25-year-old stepped to the dish with his team down two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and promptly deposited a first-pitch Justin Sterner fastball 412 feet over the right-field wall. It gave the Blue Jays a 5-4 lead and would spark a massive six-run outburst. That marks three straight appearances with a homer for him, notching at least one hit in five straight. The streak has him up to five long balls on the year, and a solid .267 batting average (32-for-120) in 38 games. Despite the middling statistics, Barger boasts a fantastic .306 xBA, and has vastly outproduced the average exit velocity (95.1 MPH) and hard-hit rate (55.9%) figures he sported in 2024.
