Blue Jays: Daulton Varsho and the pressure that comes with a contract year
"Daulton Varsho is currently mired in a 6-for-32 slump to begin the campaign, hitting just .188 with only two extra-base hits."
"His 81.0 mph average exit velocity ranks in just the second percentile among qualified hitters, representing a near 10 mph decrease from 2025."
"Varsho's expected batting average of .302 suggests he's gotten a bit unlucky, despite his struggles at the plate."
"While Varsho has generally been his usual excellent self on defence in centre field, he did make a rare defensive miscue during Sunday's 3-0 loss."
Daulton Varsho began the 2026 season as an impending free agent after a strong 2025 season, but has struggled offensively. He is currently in a slump with a .188 batting average and only two extra-base hits. Despite a low batting average, his expected batting average suggests he has been unlucky. His bat speed is down, and his average exit velocity has significantly decreased. Varsho's defensive performance remains solid, although he made a rare error recently.
