Springer's 2025 Resurgence Sets High Bar for 2026 Projections

George Springer, 36, saw a significant offensive resurgence in 2025, hitting .309/.399/.560 with 32 HR, 18 SB, and a 5.2 fWAR, his best with the Blue Jays. His outfield defense declined, leading to more DH time. Despite elite percentile rankings in 2025, Steamer projects a more modest 2026 with 134 games, .259/.340/.454, 26 HR, and 2.4 fWAR, raising questions about repeating his career-best performance.
