Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Weight: How heavy is the Toronto Blue Jays star?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays is one of the most powerful hitters in one of the most powerful divisions in the MLB. Undoubtedly, his power can be traced back to his very stocky figure.

Guerrero Jr. is the son of Vladimir Guerrero Sr., a former MLB player. Guerrero Sr. played for 16 seasons in the MLB. Guerrero Jr. was born in Montreal in 1999 while his father played for the now-defunct Montreal Expos.

Guerrero Sr. was also known for his overpowing figure. At 6-foot-3 and 235 lbs, Vladimir Guerrero was known for his grace in the outfield despite his size. There is no doubt that size is at least one genetic trait that was passed down to Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Guerrero Jr. is slightly smaller than his old man, weighing in at 240 lbs and 6-2. The younger Guerrero signed with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2015 as a 16-year-old and made his debut with the team in 2019.

The year he was called up, big league teams finally got to see how the portly first baseman uses size to his advantage. He hit his first career home run against the San Francisco Giants in May 2019, and also registered the hit with the highest exit velocity in the MLB that year - 118.9 mph.

By 2021, Guerrero was quickly becoming an MLB superstar. He hit a league-best 48 home runs that year to be named to his first MLB All-Star team. Despite having 110 strikeouts, he also led the MLB in runs, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage in 2021. He was signed to a one-year deal worth $7.9 million for 2022, avoiding arbitration on his salary.

Although Guerrero is an explosive hitter, there is another player in his division named Aaron Judge. Judge, the New York Yankees outfielder, hit 62 home runs this season, setting a single-season record. With the Jays and the Yankees comprising two of the best hitting teams in the league, it will be a battle of the big men when these two teams meet this season.
