Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider has nothing but high praise for rookie center fielder Brett Bateman.
Bateman was traded to the Blue Jays as part of the Chicago Cubs‘ trade package for starting pitcher Kevin Gausman ahead of the MLB trade deadline.
At just 24 years of age, Bateman has plenty of speed and a solid glove in the OF, plus he brings a nice hitting stroke to the plate as well, as he’s helped the Blue Jays win so far during his short time in MLB.
Blue Jays Right NowFollowing Tuesday’s win over Boston, the Blue Jays improved to 58-63, putting them just 2.5 GB of the third and final American League Wild Card spot.
The Blue Jays still have to leap over five other teams, which is not going to be easy to do, if they want to get the third Wild Card spot.
