Kazuma Okamoto Concludes Promising Rookie Season With Blue Jays

Kazuma Okamoto wrapped up his four-year, $60 million debut season with the Toronto Blue Jays after starring 11 years in Japan. Posting a 2.5 WAR, Okamoto hit .232/.310/.452 with 25 home runs and 83 RBIs across 156 games, flashing strong barrel rates but a league-leading 20 errors at third base. Toronto anticipates he will improve and potentially see more time at designated hitter in future seasons following his solid transition to MLB.
