Bo Bichette has never been a power striker since his arrival in major baseball, but he posted solid offensive figures for a stop player during his first seasons in the MLB.
Between 2021 and 2023, Bichette struck for an average of the stick of, 298 with an ops of, 815, an average of 26 circuits, 37 doubles, 96 products produced, 15 stolen goals and a WAR of 4.8 per 162 games. The little doe made two appearances in the star match during this period, ranking among the first sixteen to the vote of the ultimate player of the American league during these three seasons.
But this has not been the case for almost a year, or more precisely in the last eleven months. Indeed, Bichette is one of the 328 MLB players to have recorded at least 200 marble appearances since May 28, 2024, but he is the only one who has not hit the circuit during this period.
The 27 -year -old has not yet struck a circuit in 24 games this season, even if he leads the American league with 104 sticks in the stick, his last circuit having occurred on May 27, 2024 against the White Sox in Chicago.
It is true that Bichette missed ten days of activity days in June last year, then two months from mid-July to mid-September due to a calf sprain (in addition to the end of the season thereafter), considerably limiting the number of chances of shipping the ball on the other side of the fence. However, 239 appearances following the marble without long ball is far from normal.
The one who risks leaving Toronto at the end of this campaign is not the only one to know this kind of trouble among the Blue Jays, who accumulated a small total of thirteen circuits in 2025, which gives them the 29th and penultimate rank of the whole MLB. Their pace after 24 games in this chapter is the worst in the history of the franchise.
Bichette and the Jays will try to end them in the column of long balls and victories this evening from 7:40 p.m. (Quebec time) when they want to avoid scan against the Astros of Houston.
