How many home runs does Shohei Ohtani have? Tracking every HR by Angels star
View Date:2024-12-23 18:51:05
Shohei Ohtani continues to captivate the MLB world and accomplish some of the baseball's rarest feats, but the two-way star can break another major record that was set last year: the American League home run record.
The Los Angeles Angels pitcher and hitter leads the league in home runs; he was the only player at the halfway point with at least 30 dingers and became the first player to 40 with his Aug. 3 blast.
Although Ohtani is on pace to hit the most home runs in his six-year MLB career, he isn't far off the pace of Aaron Judge last season, when the Yankees outfielder broke the AL record for homers in a single season (62). At the 115-game mark, Ohtani is just off the pace Judge set in 2022.
Will Ohtani become the new AL home run king? Here's the latest on Ohtani's progress:

How many home runs is Shohei Ohtani on pace to hit this season?
With 41 home runs through 119 games, Ohtani is averaging 0.34 home runs per game. If he continues on this pace, he will finish the regular season with 55 home runs on the year.
How likely is it Shohei Ohtani would pass Aaron Judge?
If Ohtani keeps on his current pace, he will fall short of Judge's 62.
However, Judge averaged more home runs in the second half of 2022, so it's possible Ohtani could do the same. Through 119 games, Ohtani has hit 41 home runs; Judge had 46 through 119 games last season.
How likely is it Shohei Ohtani would catch Barry Bonds?
The AL home run record is within reach, but the overall home run record might be a stretch. If Ohtani wants to pass Barry Bonds' record 73 home runs in one season, he would need to hit 32 home runs in the Angels' remaining 43 games.
Shohei Ohtani hitting stats 2023
Ohtani has hit his 41 home runs in 37 different games this season, including four two-home run games. He has hit a home run in 14 MLB stadiums this year, with 20 of them coming at Angel Stadium.
So far, Ohtani has hit the longest home run of the MLB season, when he bashed a 493-foot shot off a slider from the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Tommy Henry at home on June 30. He ranks eighth in MLB in average exit velocity at 93.8 miles per hour.
If Ohtani doesn't catch Judge's home run record, he'll likely break a personal one; he needs five home runs to break his career-high 46 he set in 2021. As of Aug. 13, Ohtani has 168 career home runs, placing him tied for 57th on the list of active players with the most home runs.
