"Vlad Guerrero Jr., he always looks good... That man is motivated. That man, as we saw in the postseason, the entire world got a glimpse of what Toronto fans already knew. He is not just a hitter. He is not just a power hitter... He is an above-average defender at first base, and he is an excellent baserunner, as well."
"Vladimir Guerrero Jr. didn't take kindly to the Toronto Blue Jays' Game 7 loss in the World Series. The 2025 postseason was on the way to putting Vladdy on the map as one of the league's top stars, and while he convinced most of the world, becoming a champion would've been the deciding factor that swayed everyone else."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. emerged as a key player during the 2025 postseason, showcasing his abilities as an emotional leader and clutch performer for the Toronto Blue Jays. Despite the team's Game 7 World Series loss, Guerrero Jr. demonstrated he is more than just a hitter and power hitter—he is an above-average defender at first base and excellent baserunner. The disappointing playoff result has fueled his motivation heading into 2026. Ken Rosenthal notes that Guerrero Jr. is a man on a mission, expecting big things from him this season. Though the regular season was challenging, his postseason performance and mindset shift suggest he is ready for his greatest season yet.
