A couple of things make the Jays' power surge all the more amazing.

That all started to change when Cito Gaston, Gene Tenace and Dwayne Murphy
rode into Pittsburgh in late June of 2008 as the bench staff underwent a
mid-season overhaul. Their first order of business was to de-program the
hitters. "Working the count" was replaced with "Grip it and rip it". The
results, while impressive in the home run department, have also led to a rise
in the number of strikeouts, a stat they also lead the American League in.

Blue Jays hitting coach Dwayne Murphy wants to make it clear that his hitters
are not stepping up to the plate and trying to launch long balls. He said the
high power numbers are simply a product of good swings and approach.
"Everybody's kind of harping about home runs," Murphy said. "These guys
aren't trying to hit home runs. They're just trying to put a good swing on
the ball, and they're having good results out of it. You hear so much, 'It's
home run or nothing,' but that's not what's happening.
"When you're up there looking for a certain pitch and you get it, you have an
easier chance to hit it if you square it up. These guys aren't trying to hit
home runs. They're just barreling it up, and it's going out of the ballpark."
