Bo Bichette was back and did well and a new catcher was brought up and did really well. Quite an amazing story.
The Toronto Blue Jays successfully launched their 21-year old rookie backstop, Alejandro Kirk, into the baseball universe.
It is not every day that a major league team promotes a catcher who has never played above Single-A during a pennant race, however, that is exactly what the Blue Jays have pulled out of their bag of tricks during this shortened pandemic season.
The aforementioned 21-year old made his MLB debut last night behind the dish and let me tell you, Alejandro Kirk did not look out of place. The kid was cool as a cucumber and on the same page with starter Robbie Ray for most of the night.
Kirk also contributed with the lumber notching his first MLB hit, walk and run scored during the Blue Jays 3-2 victory over the New York Mets.
