On November 5, 1976, the Toronto Blue Jays selected Vélez in the 1976 MLB expansion draft. Vélez was named the Toronto Blue Jays opening day designated hitter in their first game on April 7, 1977, as he went 2-for-4 with a run, helping Toronto defeat the Chicago White Sox 9–5. Vélez was named American League Player of the Month for the month of April, as he hit .442 with 5 HR and 18 RBI in 21 games. He had a very solid first season in Toronto, finishing the season with a .256 batting average with 16 HR and 62 RBI in 120 games. Vélez saw his offensive production dip in 1978, as he hit .266 with 9 HR and 38 RBI in 91 games, but despite appearing in only 99 games in 1979, Velez improved to a .288 batting average with 15 HR and 48 RBI. Vélez had his best season in 1980, as in 104 games, he hit .269 with 20 HR and 62 RBI. On May 4, Vélez hit four home runs in a doubleheader against the Cleveland Indians, and this feat was notable in that Velez hit one of each possible home run in the doubleheader, that is, a solo, two-run, three-run home run as well as a grand slam, therefore "hitting for the cycle" in home runs. His home run and RBI totals were the second highest on the team. Vélez struggled in 1981, appearing in 80 games, batting .213 with 11 HR and 28 RBI. In 1982, Vélez appeared in only 28 games with Toronto, hitting .192 with 1 HR and 5 RBI. On September 7, the Blue Jays released Velez. What a great vintage item with a 100% authentic signature!
