Bo Bichette continues to put his nightmare 2024 season behind him.

The struggles of a year ago look more and more like an aberration for the Toronto Blue Jays' star shortstop.

That's even more true now when comparing Bichette's stats around baseball. Bichette is batting above .300 with 90-plus RBI, a criteria only matched in all of MLB so far this season by New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge.

It's good timing. Bichette will be a free agent after this season.

Bichette had a miserable 2024 season for the Blue Jays. He batted just .225 while battling injuries. For a player who had felt like a franchise cornerstone, it raised lots of worry.

But it doesn't seem to be the real Bo.

Bichette batted .311 in his short debut season, then .301 in the shortened 2020 season.

By 2021, he was at full throttle, hitting .298 and leading the AL with 191 hits.

In 2022, he was again the league leader in hits (189) with a .290 average.

If not for a short injury stint in 2023, he would've led again, as he raised his average to .306 with 175 hits in 135 games.

This is a special hitter, and he's proving that again in 2025.

His big payday is coming, after he first polishes off a pure hitting campaign.
