It certainly looks like the Toronto Blue Jays made a good move this past offseason by signing slugger Kazuma Okamoto to a four-year, $60 million deal .

Okamoto entered the day on Saturday sporting a .228/.313/.430 slash line with seven homers and 18 RBIs. Those numbers sound solid, but don't tell the whole story. He started the season off a bit slowly, but has been red-hot lately. Over his last nine games, he slashed .300/.400/.700 with four homers and 10 RBIs before Saturday's contest. On Saturday, Okamoto went 2-for-5 and launched his eighth homer of the season. It wasn't quiet one either. Okamoto's long ball went 453 feet.
