George Springer experienced a statistical resurgence in 2025, surpassing his 2024 totals with 21 home runs and 62 RBIs while slashing .292/.384/.521 and posting a .905 OPS. Springer had never previously hit above .270 or reached a .352 OBP with the Blue Jays. He moved out of the leadoff spot after having occupied it in 1,012 of 1,409 MLB games, where he recorded 208 leadoff homers, 1,082 hits in 4,055 at-bats, a .350 OBP and .824 OPS. He hit his 61st career leadoff home run, ranking second all-time and tying the franchise lead with 22. In 2024 he struggled as a leadoff hitter, batting .214/.291/.349 with 12 homers, 41 walks, 85 strikeouts in 453 plate appearances and finishing with a 1.1 bWAR and 91 OPS+.
It has been a renaissance season for Toronto Blue Jays veteran George Springer. The 35-year-old has been putting up some of the best numbers of his career since coming over to the Blue Jays in 2021. He's already surpassed last seasons totals in home runs (21), and RBIs (62) and he's slashing .292/.384/.521 with a .905 OPS. He's never hit over .270 since he joined the Blue Jays and he's never gotten on base at more than a .352 clip.
One big change for Springer this year is moving out of the leadoff spot, a position he's held for the majority of his career. He's hit leadoff in 1012 of the 1409 MLB games he's played in. From that spot in the order he has hit 208 home runs, with 1082 hits in 4055 at-bats, with a .350 OBP and .824 OPS.
He also hit his 61st lead off home run on Wednesday against Pittsburg, putting him 20 behind the all-time record set by the late, great, Rickey Henderson (81). That was also the 22nd time he's hit a leadoff home run for the Blue Jays, tying him with Devon White for the franchise lead in that category.
