MLBcom, the official major league media, revealed its sixth batter power ranking this season on the 14th (Korea Standard Time). Judge became No. 1 for two consecutive weeks, knocking down Shohei Ohtani’s stronghold.
MLBcom, which said, “The showdown between the Dodgers and the Yankees is a showdown between big names,” said, “This is the sixth power ranking count, and so far, three other players (Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Aaron Judge) have won first place, but all of them have come from Dodgers and Yankees.” 토토사이트 추천
Judge displayed tremendous pace this season by batting .3002 with 25 home runs, 62 RBIs, 53 runs scored and five stolen bases with OPS of 1.118 in 70 games. He is seeking his second 60-homer season following the one in 2022 (62 home runs) in which he set a new American League home run record by maintaining the pace of 57 home runs this season, and his productivity at bat is even better than that of 2022. He is also highly likely to win his second MVP award following 2022.
MLBcom said, “Jersey successfully maintained his No. 1 spot. He was unanimously ranked No. 1. There is no doubt when you think of his hot run. Judge hit 22 home runs in 44 games until the 13th and hit an outrageous slash line of .383/.505/.922. After a slow start to the season, Judge is recording an OPS+ (220), which is higher than that of the 2022 season (210) when he hit 62 home runs.”
Second place went to Juan Soto (Yankees). Soto has posted a batting average of .324 (80 hits in 250 times at bat) with 17 homers, 54 RBIs, 55 runs scored and an OPS of 1.025 in 68 games this season. MLBcom said, “Soto has been ranked in the top four in all power rankings this year. This is the third time he has ranked second. For Soto, who briefly faltered after failing to play due to left forearm inflammation, it may be only a matter of time before he ranked first. Yankees manager Aaron said, “Literally, every pitch is a theater. His play is fun to watch.”
Due to his slow pace, Ohtani dropped from second to fourth. He has posted an OPS of .970 this season with 66 games batting average of 31.1 percent (82 hits in 264 at-bats) with 17 homers, 44 RBIs, 51 runs scored and 15 steals. MLBcom said, “Ohtani has been mired in a slump over the past few weeks (OPS of .588 from May 19 to June 10).” However, he is still leading the National League’s Ruta (151), and hit his 16th homerun of the season on the 12th. “I’m sure there will be more ups and downs in the future, but Ohtani, the designated hitter who is undergoing rehabilitation from elbow surgery, is still seen as a candidate to win his third MVP award.”
The MLBcom batter’s power ranking is followed by Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, No. 2, Gunner Henderson (Baltimore), No. 4, Shohei Ohtani, No. 5 Bobby Wit Jr. (Kansas City), No. 6 Bryce Harper (Philadelphia), No. 7 Jose Ramirez (Clineland), No. 8 Mookie Betts (Dodgers), No. 9 Marcel Osuna (Atlanta), and No. 10 Jordan Alvarez (Houston).
