Bo Bichette returned to form in 2025, slashing .306/.350/.471 with an .821 OPS and 123 OPS+ through Aug 26. He led the league with 167 hits and stood a chance to win his third hits title in five years. Bichette posted strong underlying metrics, including a .308 xBA, a 49.0% hard-hit rate and a 91.0 mph average exit velocity. He improved markedly after July, hitting .368/.420/.533 with a .973 OPS and collecting 105 total bases in 47 games. Defensive concerns persist with potential long-term move to second base, while contract extension discussions gain urgency.
What Bo Bichette has proven in 2025 is that it is safe to say when he's healthy he is one of the best hitters in MLB. This season he has not only pulled all of his metrics back to his career norms, but he is also achieving some of the highest statistics in his career. Through Tuesday's game (August 26) Bichette was slashing .306/.350/.471 with an .821 OPS and 123 OPS+.
He's also leading the league with 167 hits and if he manages to stave off the competition, it will be the third time in five years that he finishes as the hit king of the season. Bichette had 191 hits in 2021, and 189 hits in 2022 while his 175 hits in 2023 was among the top ten. After an injury plagued 2024 where he appeared in just 81 games, Bichette is back to being an absolute force at the plate for the Blue Jays.
He's also gotten better as the season has gone on. Since the beginning of July he's slashing .368/.420/.533 with an OPS of .973. While he's only hit five home runs over the 47 games he's played in, he's racked up 105 total bases, including 20 doubles. Over the last 30 days, he's been almost unstoppable, leading the league in hits (41), and batting average (.373), while having the third base on-base percentage (.430).
