Daulton Varsho's Elite Defense & Power

On March 11th, here's the latest surrounding the Toronto Blue Jays.

Dalton Varsho is a 29-year-old left-handed hitting center-fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays.

The team acquired him in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks back in December 2022,

sending Lords Gurry L. Jr. and Gabriel Moreno.

The other way, as part of a roster overhaul, since joining the Jays, Varsho has put up a batting line of 0.2,

2-1, over slash 0.288, slash 0.428 across 3.

Seasons. That includes 58 home runs and strong defense that boosts his total BWA war to 11.3.

Last year stood out for injuries, like shoulder surgery in the offseason, a hamstring strain,

and a hit-by pitch on the hand, causing him to miss. Significant time.

Still, he smashed 20 home runs in just 71 games, and slugged over 0.5 for the first time.

His defense remains elite, with a plus nine outs above average in center field, despite limited innings.

One highlight was a stunning catch while falling and facing away from the ball.

Though video shows plenty more like it.

Projections from steamer have him in 117 games this year, hitting 0.226, over slash 0.293, slash 0.4.

3-0 with 23 home runs, and a 1.7 FWA R. His arm strength post surgery is a question mark, but range keeps him valuable.
