Blue Jays' Varsho Breaks Out of Cold Spell in Clutch Moment

As the anticipation builds for the Toronto Blue Jays' season to begin, one player has broken out of a cold spell in a clutch moment. Daulton Varsho, the outfielder acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a trade this offseason, has struggled to find his rhythm at the plate early on in spring training. However, in a recent game against the New York Yankees, Varsho came up big when his team needed him most.

With the Blue Jays trailing 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning, Varsho stepped up to the plate with runners on first and second and two outs. He worked the count to 3-2 before crushing a double to right-center field, driving in both runners and giving the Blue Jays a 3-2 walk-off victory. It was a much-needed hit for Varsho, who had been 0-for-10 in his previous three games.

Varsho's performance is a good sign for the Blue Jays, who are hoping that he can be a key contributor in the middle of their lineup this season. The 26-year-old is a versatile player who can play all three outfield positions, and he has shown some power potential in the past. If he can continue to hit like he did in that clutch moment against the Yankees, he could be a valuable asset for the Blue Jays in 2023.
