The Blue Jays struggled offensively this campaign, ranking 23rd in the league in runs scored and 26th in home runs. The club also finished below average in OPS.
Martinez oversaw strong offensive seasons as Toronto's hitting coach before the club regressed over the past few years.

| 2022 | 775 | 200 | .760 |
| 2021 | 846 | 262 | .796 |
The Blue Jays posted a 74-88 record in 2024 to finish in the AL East basement for the first time since 2013.
