Blue Jays: Sean Keys Deserves Another Chance in the Majors

In a desperate search for offensive production, Sean Keys made his Major League debut with the Toronto Blue Jays in late June of this season, recording a few hits and two RBIs along the way. However, that wasn't enough to keep him in the MLB at that time.

Although Alejandro Kirk has experienced a resurgence and some other Blue Jays players have slightly improved their hitting recently, the search for offensive firepower continues in Toronto, as the Jays' offense remains mediocre despite the team's recent successes.

And once again, Keys could be the key.

In fact, since the beginning of August, it's been impossible to ignore just how much the 23-year-old has been tearing apart opposing pitchers, as evidenced, among other things, by his two-homer, five-RBI game last Friday.

And it's not as if that productive game was an anomaly—far from it. This month, Keys is posting an excellent .338 batting average, a slugging percentage nearing the .700 mark, and an OPS above 1.100 with the Buffalo Bisons at the AAA level.

Keys is therefore forcing the Blue Jays' organization's hand to give him another chance to show what he can do to energize an offense that's struggling to get off the ground—especially since he has nothing left to prove in the minors.

Admittedly, Keys is primarily a first- and third-base player—positions currently occupied by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Kazuma Okamoto. But one thing is undeniable in baseball: if a player can hit, a spot will be made for him in the lineup.

It's time to give him another chance against MLB pitchers—especially since the Jays won't be facing any teams with a winning record right now, with just five weeks left in the season.
