Addison Barger: Blue Jays' Rising Star

On March 22nd, Addison Barger is on fire with the Toronto Blue Jays.

After a breakout season in 2025, he's dominating spring training and looks set to take his

game to new heights in 2026.

His stats tell the story.

He's in the 93rd percentile, or better, across several key areas, including not swinging

at pitches outside the strike zone where he's at the 83rd percentile.

Fans and analysts are buzzing about it.

An observer called him the perfect hitter this spring.

For crushing balls, staying aggressive in the zone, laying off bad pitches and hitting

at.

Ideal launch angles while pulling them in the air.

That kind of approach sets him up for big success.

When you make solid contact on hitable pitches and optimize your power, the results follow

naturally.

Barger keeps proving he's a rising star, and the Blue Jays could benefit big time as

the regular season ramps up.
