Addison Barger played a big role in the ascent of Toronto Blue Jays at the top of the east of the American this season.
The 25-year-old’s hatch continued more beautiful on Sunday when he hit a circuit and produced two points in the 8-6 victory of Blue Jays against the Giants of San Francisco, sweeping the series. In the previous match, Barger had obtained four sure in a game for the first time in his career.
His long ball on Sunday was his 14th this season, which placed him just three of the 17 of George Springer, who leads the team to the chapter of the circuit.
In a team filled with talent, manager John Schneider finds that Barger has his place among the star players.
“I think he’s here,” said Schneider after Sunday’s meeting. He plays with regularity, he does a lot of damage to the opposing teams and he hit the ball strong. It is usually in the top 5 strikers of this training, so, yes I think it has its place here ”.
If Schneider trusts him so much, it is, among other things, thanks to his work ethics.
“I think his way of preparing allowed him to stand out and get these results. He is not afraid to face a good left -hander, “added the manager of the Jays.
Barger associates his recent successes with the contributions of his coach David Popkins and his assistants.
“They arrive with most match plans, and we with ours based on the video bands. It’s a lot of teamwork. They are open to certain proposals and we exchange a lot. So they are extremely important ”.
