For months, the Toronto Blue Jays' offense failed to live up to the expectations. On paper, they had more firepower than at least two-thirds of the league, yet they couldn't dig themselves from slumps way too often.
George Springer was one of their few consistent weapons. And fortunately for them, it seems like he's getting hot at the right time after coming back with an injury.
He was at his best during the first game of the series vs. the New York Yankees, going 5-for-5 with two runs and one RBI vs. the Bronx Bombers.
Springer was so dominant that even Yankees' Frankie Montas had to shower him with praise. He knew him pretty well from his days with the Astros, but he had never seen him in such a zone:
The 32-year-old veteran isn't forcing things. He knows he's a leader, and his teammates feed off his energy, but he'll continue to take a 'one at-bat at a time' approach:
Needless to say, having him back to full strength is key for a Blue Jays team looking to make a deep postseason run. And Springer peaking at the right time only means trouble for the AL East:
Springer's approach has helped his teammates as well. They feed off his energy and work ethic, so he brings way more to the table than what shows in the stats:
The Blue Jays are must-watch television when they're at their best, so hopefully, he'll keep this up for when it matters the most.
