Vladimir Guerrero Jr. just did his best Bo Jackson impression … completely — and easily — destroying his bat over his leg following a tough strikeout.
The Toronto superstar turned his personalized lumber into kindling in the fifth inning of the Blue Jays’ game against the Yankees … when he struck out on a Jameson Taillon cutter.
Guerrero Jr. was so mad at himself for waving at a pitch that ended up outside of the zone — he slammed his bat to the ground … and then snapped it over his right quad.

Video shows the thing didn’t stand a chance against the wrath of the 6’2, 235-pound first baseman … it splintered all over the batter’s box.
If you’re wondering, there’s no MLB rule against snapping a bat in frustration … so Vladdy won’t face any penalty over the temper tantrum.
As for the game … the Jays are currently down 5-2 — but Vlad’s gotten another bat and is scheduled to come up again shortly.
Getcha popcorn ready.
