Currently, there is not a more feared hitter in MLB what Shohei Ohtaniwho leads the entire league as the player with the most home runs so far in 2023, with a total of 35, just 27 more than reaching what was done by Aaron Judge in 2022 with New York Yankeeswhich is why the captain of the Bronx bombers sent a message to the Japanese phenomenon.
In an interview for the Los Angeles Times, the ‘Judge’, who remains out of activity due to an injury to his right foot, made his position clear regarding the possibility that the Los Angeles Angels player could take away the record for the most home runs in the American League, which he achieved after surpassing 61 home runs made by Roger Maris.
Judge stands by
“Records are destined to be broken. It’s just a record. It would be exciting for the game if (Shohei) went out and got more than 63, so we’ll see what happens.” Judgewho has already been absent for several weeks since his last appearance with the Yankees.
Shohei Ohtani is not indifferent to the possibility of achieving this feat, since he has it as a clear objective since he was asked on media day of the All-Star Game held in Seattle; “Of course. I would like to break the record. But before all that, I need to stay healthy, finish the year healthy. That’s the focus right now.”
According to a projection carried out by USA Today, the Japanese is in a batting rhythm that will allow him to reach 60 homers, since he currently hits a home run every two and a half games, which leaves the impression that the record of Judge is in serious danger due to the performance of the Japanese.
