Alejandro Kirk Shines as Blue Jays Take 3–2 World Series Lead

Collision-limiting rules plus early scouting opened the door for the Tijuana-born catcher’s rise on baseball’s biggest stage.

Overview

  • Kirk is Toronto’s starting catcher in the 2025 World Series and has been a prominent contributor behind the plate.
  • Through five games he is 6-for-18 with two home runs, underscoring his impact in the series.
  • Toronto holds a 3–2 advantage over the Dodgers, putting the Blue Jays one victory from their first championship since 1993.
  • Childhood friend Jonathan Aranda attended games wearing their Tijuana youth team’s Glu-Glu jersey as a tribute to Kirk.
  • A mural by artist Mode Orozco in Tijuana celebrates Kirk, which MLB México spotlighted as the catcher thanked fans for the support.
