Okamoto's Power Surge Lifts Jays

0:00On April 27th, Toronto Blue Jays are battling a brutal injury wave this season, sidelineing stars like Alejandro Kirk, George Springer, and Addison. Barger. After losing Boba's shit in the offseason, they took a shot on Kazuma Okamoto from Japan's KVO League to Man Third Base. Early on, he chased pitches and racked up strikeouts, leaving the line up toothless. But lately, Okamoto's locked in his swing. Over the last seven games, he's batting 375 with three homers, seven RBI's, five walks and seven run scored. His slugging is pushing near 800, giving the Jays the pop they desperately need. Fans and manager John Schneider were gutted by the slow start, especially with the team dropping four straight. Now that power search has Toronto at four wins and three losses in the past week, helping them claw toward 500. Okamoto flashed early promise in March, hitting 300 with a 600 slugging, but April brought eight strikeouts in four games.

1:00His season OPS sits at 743, and with nerve settling, he's proving the gamble right. The Jays wrap against Cleveland before facing Boston's tough pitchers. If Okamoto keeps mashing, Toronto could ride this momentum while waiting for the injured to return and stabilize the roster.
