Guerrero Jr. Youngest Blue Jay to 1,000 Hits

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. became the youngest player in Toronto Blue Jays history to record 1,000 career hits, reaching the milestone at 26 years and 117 days old during a 7-6 win over the Oakland Athletics. He achieved this feat in his 911th MLB game, further solidifying his role as a key offensive contributor with a .279 batting average this season. Guerrero’s 1,000th hit came in the fifth inning, during which he also stole second base and scored a run. This accomplishment follows his signing of a record 14-year, $500 million contract extension, the largest in team history. His contributions have helped the Blue Jays win 11 of their last 12 games and lead the American League East. Guerrero’s continued excellence is cementing his legacy as one of the franchise’s greatest players.
