Their percentage of runners scored (37%) is the best in baseball, their 17 outs on the basepaths (not including pick-offs, caught stealing, or force plays) are among the lowest number in the league - an impressive feat for a club with the fourth-highest on-base percentage in baseball - and their percentage of extra bases taken (43%) is in the top 10 as well. He has contributed five of those 12 steals.Д«ut itвЂ™s not just stolen base efficiency that has made the Jays one of the gameвЂ™s great baserunning teams. Much of that comes from Reyes, who has been a near-constant presence on-base during the clubвЂ™s winning streak. Heading into FridayвЂ™s game, the Jays had a league-best 12 stolen bases this month, having been caught only once, which has certainly aided their 8-1 record in June - including a tremendous double-steal from Jose Reyes and Jose Bautista in the incredible walk-off ninth inning back on Sunday against the Astros.

If you said the Toronto Blue Jays, well played! (Though IвЂ™d be more impressed if I didnвЂ™t figure you probably already knew that I wasnвЂ™t going to be writing about, say, the Cincinnati Reds, or at the least have read the headline.) Last week he was named to the Midwest League all-star team. Remarkably, even without the help of his left infraspinatus, he is LansingвЂ™s best pitcher. Which is a pretty big deal, because Dawson is employed by the Toronto Blue Jays as a left-handed pitcher for their low Class A farm club in Lansing, Mich.
