New Toronto Blue Jays first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt is feeling great with his new team. Belt, a 12-year major league veteran, has not played more than 97 games in a season since 2019. However, he's heading into 2023 with a clean bill of health.
Brandon Belt had a solid, if unspectacular, 12 years with the San Francisco Giants. A career .261 hitter, Belt had his best offensive season in 2021. In 97 games, he hit .274 with 29 home runs and 59 RBI. However, he slumped to .213 with eight homers and 23 RBI in 78 games last season. Food Industry Conveyor Belt
Belt and the Giants parted ways by mutual consent this offseason. The 34-year-old signed a one-year, $9 million contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Jan. 9th. Despite leaving San Francisco, he told NBC Sports Bay Area that he has nothing but admiration for the organization that selected him in the fifth round of the 2009 MLB June Amateur Draft.
Brandon Belt and the Toronto Blue Jays will play the Giants in a three-game series at the Rogers Centre in Toronto from June 27th-29th. Belt told NBC Sports Bay Area that he checked the Blue Jays' schedule immediately after signing to find out when his new team plays his old team.
While the Toronto Blue Jays are pretty well set at first base with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Brandon Belt should see plenty of time in the lineup as a designated hitter or spelling Guerrero Jr. at first.
Belt, a two-time World Series winner with the Giants, could be in line for a third championship as the Blue Jays are considered one of the strongest American League contenders.
