Throughout the series, several key players, including
George Springer,
Bo Bichette, and
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., struggled at the plate, contributing to the Blue Jays' offensive woes. Springer, in particular, faced mounting speculation regarding his role as the team's leadoff hitter. While he showcased flashes of brilliance with a double and a home run, his overall production fell short of expectations. Despite a 5-for-17 performance, Springer's extended drought in extra-base hits raised concerns about his effectiveness atop the lineup.
