Mike Wilner: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. goes deep (very deep) in Blue Jays spring opener win
To that end, the all-star slugger asked manager John Schneider for some extra at-bats, which led to Guerrero getting on a bus for the hour-and-change ride down to Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine Park for Saturday’s Grapefruit League opener against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It’s that swing — which generated that 110.7-m.p.h. laser, the hardest-hit ball of the game — that Guerrero wants to have on a regular basis. The left-handed swinger with the big leg kick got the start at third base and went deep in his second at-bat, a solo shot that tied the game 4-4. “I handle inside pitches really well,” said Barger, “so I was looking for something in. He came fastball in and I don’t miss that.”
