Okamoto's Hot Streak Ignites Jays

Toronto Blue Jays pledged their third base hold this off-season by signing Kazuma Okamoto from Japan, passing on Alex Breggman. Early on, in 90 at Bats last April, he hit just 200 with three home runs and 12 RBI's. Decent start. But not what they hoped for from, the defending American lead champs. Lately though, Okamoto's turned it up. Over the last 15 days, he's batting 300 with six home runs and 16 RBI's, bringing that Japanese production straight to the majors. Fans and the team are buzzing now, especially after his road tear against the Minnesota twins. In that four-game series, he grabbed four hits, including three homers, drove in five runs, walked once, and struck out zero times. That six thinning blast Saturday even sparked a Jays comeback, tying it up before they exploded for eight in the next frame. His season stats have climbed to eight home runs and 20 RBI's, with his on-base plus

Even joking one near Homer was missing that fuel. With that routine dialed in, he's proving why Toronto bet on him overseas.
