It seems like the same story every year for the Blue Jays. Considering how the team is performing this season, expecting power hitting from the Jays seems like a disillusionment with the team’s stalled trajectory. Their potential to hit big has been a long debate. But how long can a team keep selling POTENTIAL as if it’s progress? The names remain the same. So do the swings that fall just short of the fence, the runners left on base, the games that slip away late.
This time, the Blue Jays broadcaster, Jamie Campbell, rang the bell for the team.
“BlueJays’ record for fewest hits in a three-game series is 9: April 1-3, 2024, in Houston.“ This alarming figure came just when the Jays achieved a similar feat again on Wednesday.

The Blue Jays are in the midst of a historically bad offensive stretch — and it’s not just a cold week. It’s become part of their identity. Reportedly, they’ve been among the league’s worst in home runs, and lately, even making a single hit feels like a monumental task. Campbell summed it up with a stat that’s as outrageous as it is telling. With just nine total hits over their last three games, the Jays have tied a franchise record for the fewest in any three-game span, matching a low they hit just last season against the same Astros.
Probably not bad luck or a slump anymore. It’s a pattern. And it’s now getting impossible to ignore.
The Blue Jays are currently ranked #29 in terms of hitting homers (13). In contrast, Corbin Carroll of the D-Backs amassed 9 homers alone! That sums up the situation with the Jays. The team is ranked #26 in terms of slugging (.345). So yes, nothing to hide the poor hitting scale of the Jays.
“They can hit. They’re an aggressive team, and it seems even balls that weren’t hit hard found holes this series. But yeah, I think you need one of those games where you get off to a good start, and that kind of snowballs from there,” shared the Blue Jays Manager John Schneider. Again, hope for the team to regain its power.
For the fans, it’s difficult to bet, especially for those who have seen Wednesday’s game.
The Blue Jays went 9-for-90 in their series against the Astros. That’s a .100 batting average! And it’s screaming to fans that one simply can’t win games when their entire offense disappears like that. Will it be easy to turn the tables from here?
The hole is still not too deep for the Blue Jays to climb out of
The Blue Jays need to make some serious changes — fast. They started the season on a high note, showing flashes of the contender they’re supposed to be. But just like 2024, the momentum didn’t last. The offense has vanished, the spark is gone, and now, the warning signs are starting to feel alarmingly familiar.
At 12–13, hovering just below .500, it’s not a disaster. Yet! But with the way this team is trending — punchless at the plate and flat in big moments — it can turn to be a disaster quickly. And if they’re not careful, 2025 could start to look an awful lot like 2024.
“It’s a tough stretch, a tough series. You can’t panic by any means,” Schneider is confident about making things work again.
With Bo Bichette (.296) and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (.277) anchoring the lineup, there’s always an expectation, or maybe just the hope, that Toronto will eventually work things around. But the stars can’t do it alone. And right now, the help simply isn’t there.
Offseason additions like Anthony Santander (.189) and Andres Gimenez (.194) were brought in to deepen the lineup, to give it length and balance. So far, they’ve added very little. And Alejandro Kirk, once an All-Star and a key piece of the offense, is hitting just .211 — another bat that’s gone quiet at a time when the Jays can least afford it.
That being said, it’s time for the Blue Jays to take a radical approach. It’s still not too late to make things fall in place before the hole gets too deep. Do you have any suggestions?
