Teoscar Hernandez played a handful of Games for the Houston Astros before the Dominican Outfielder was traded to the Blue Jays at the 2017 Trade Deadline. Hernandez spent most of that year in AAA but would be in the Majors the following year, belting 22 Home Runs, though his Batting Average was only .239. 2019 was much of the same (26 HR, .230), but the COVID-shortened year 2020 was Hernandez' breakout.
In 50 Games, Hernandez had 16 Home Runs but raised his Batting Average to .289, winning the Silver Slugger and finishing 11th in MVP voting. He kept that through a full year in 2021, smacking 32 Home Runs and 116 RBI and increasing his BA to .296 while going to his first All-Star Game and winning a Silver Slugger. Hernandez had another post-season honor, as he was selected to the All-MLB 2 Team.
Hernandez had another good year in 2022 (25 HR, .267), but the retooling Jays traded him to the Mariners in the off-season. With Toronto, Hernandez had 129 Home Runs with a .263 Batting Average.
