The Blue Jays have one or two games left in the 2025 season. Will the club win the World Series? Let's see.
Either way, we agree that if the Blue Jays win the World Series, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s chances of being named World Series MVP are good.
And if he had been the MVP of the entire series, his chances would have been even higher. And why? Because he's rewriting the Major League Baseball record book.
Here are some examples.
1. Randy Arozarena holds the record for most hits in playoff history (in a single playoff series) with 29, and Vladdy may surpass him with 27.
He still has one or two games to score at least three.
Most hits in one postseason:
Randy Arozarena, 2020: 29
2025 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: 27
2014 Pablo Sandoval: 26— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) October 30, 2025
2. With his eight home runs, Vladdy moved into second place all-time in long balls in an elimination round. Several other players have had eight in the past – including Shohei Ohtani this year.
Two players also had at least eight home runs in 2020: Corey Seager had eight… and Randy Arozarena had 10. The former Rays are the only player in history to hit 10 long balls in the playoffs in the same year.
Most home runs in one postseason:
2020 Randy Arozarena: 10
2025 Shohei Ohtani: 8
2025 Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: 8
2023 Adolis Garcia: 8
2020 Corey Seager: 8
2011 Nelson Cruz: 8
2004 Carlos Beltran: 8
2002 Barry Bonds: 8— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) October 30, 2025
3. For the first time in history, two teammates made at least 25 safe shots each in the same elimination round. As mentioned, Vladdy is now 27 years old… and Ernie Clement is (currently) 25.
With 25 accurate throws, Clement ranks fourth all-time in most accurate throws in a single elimination round. This is no small feat.
Vlad Jr. deserves the headlines, but Ernie Clement is quietly making his own story.
he just scored his 25th hit of the month, tying it with
2019 Jose Altuve
2002 Darin Erstad
2011 David Freese
1995 Marquis Grissom4th in scoring in a single postseason

It is worth noting that Vladdi did all this without going through wild card round . In 2020, with eight playoff teams in each league, Arozarena faced the Blue Jays in a 2-for-3 game before moving on to the division series.
But if the Blue Jays don't make the World Series, none of this will matter much in Junior's eyes. The same was likely true for Randy Arozarena in 2020, who lost to the Dodgers in the World Series.
