Toronto Blue Jays: Power Surge Needed for Turnaround

0:00On April 15, Toronto Blue Jays got a lineup that can mash when everyone's hot, but they're standing alone in one wild stat this season. They're the only team in baseball without a single home run when a runner's in scoring position. Toronto Radio host, Ben Ennis, dropped that fact, highlighting how their power ain't spread deep enough yet. That's that ain't black and white though. A two run homer with a guy on first doesn't count toward it, since scoring position means second or third base. Still, it points to the Jays playing its safer, with men on more about driving and runs than always swinging for the fences. Fans and analysts see this as part of their old school vibe. Hitters like Ernie Clement embody that grinded out mentality, focusing on the job at hand over big bombs. With injuries piling up, they've kicked off at seven wins and nine losses, scraping by without that extra pop. Lately, the team's leaning on contact in small ball, but experts say unlocking more long balls could spark a turnaround.

1:00Their bats need to go yard more often, especially in clutch spots, to climb the standings. Bottom line, runs win games no matter how you get them, but if the Jays want to roar back, expect those power surges to start showing up soon. Stay tuned for how they evolve.
