Brandon Belt Has One Job For the Blue Jays

Brandon Belt signed a one-year deal with the Blue Jays worth $9.6 million. Belt will play first base and designated hitter for Toronto. He will share time with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Danny Jansen and Alejandro Kirk. He is a right-handed hitter. Same- handed pitchers and batters are ineffective against breaking balls.

Brandon Belt is a left-handed hitter who can hit breaking balls. He has a better wOBA against right-handers than Guerrero, Jansen and Kirk. The Blue Jays are a fastball-hitting team. They are not a breaking- or offspeed-hitting team, but they have a significant advantage over the rest of the competition.

Brandon Belt signed a one-year contract with the Blue Jays. He will play a limited role, but he will receive good compensation. He has a 128 wRC+ in 104 plate appearances as a pinch hitter. The Jays don't need to risk him getting injured or staying healthy for an entire season. They will focus on his hitting right-handed breaking balls. His contract is not worth much, as the team will still have a good offense. It's not like they overpaid for him. he is a LOOGY. and he faces a few batters. the worst-case scenario is that he's too debilitated to accomplish even that.
