Addison Barger is developing right in front of our eyes at the major league level and he exemplifies why Toronto Blue Jays fans should be excited for the teams future.
When Barger was initially called up to the big leagues, the Blue Jays had toons of optimism for him to make a major impact right away, but unfortunately this was not the case as he went 1-18 to start his career. He was sent back down to continue his development in Triple-A.
In his 3rd stint with the Jays something was clearly different, but in a very good way. In his 29 appearances since getting another opportunity with the Jays in late July, Barger has not looked back. He has achieved an elite .800 OPS, good for a 121 wRC+ over that period.
