Jays fans breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Springer get a hit on Wednesday, but the outfielder still has a lot to figure out
on Wednesday night, breaking a 35-at-bat hitless drought with a single to centre field.
Springer has traditionally done an excellent job with sliders and sweepers in his career. Back in 2019, he even led the majors in run value vs sliders , slugging .602 against them. Since 2018, Springer has consistently been in the black against these pitches according to Baseball Savant's metric — but that hasn't been the case this year.Only one MLB hitter has a worse run value score against sliders, and just seven have done worse against sweepers.
For Springer and the Blue Jays, there are glass half-empty and glass half-full ways to assess the situation.
