Andrés Giménez has made a blazing start to the season as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, hitting three home runs in his first five games—a franchise first. After being traded from Cleveland, the 26-year-old second baseman is demonstrating not just power but also a remarkable on-base plus slugging (OPS) of 1.399. His previous years saw a decline in offensive production, but a revamped batting stance and changes in approach have contributed to his early success.

Manager John Schneider is optimistic about Giménez maintaining an OPS around .800 this season, a marked improvement from his recent performance. His recent work with teammates like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette has helped refine his approach, and he attributes his strong start to the support from the team and adjustments made to his batting technique.
