Judge and Ohtani hit 58 and 54 home runs, respectively, to rank No. 1 in AL and NL home runs, and were named MVP side by side. However, this season's home run competition is led by an unexpected hitter, not two players.
Seattle Mariners Carrolli is making the best catcher season of all time. Raleigh, who has already hit 38 home runs in the first half of the season and ranked second after Barry Bonds (39) in 2001, is leading the way with 39 home runs as of the 24th (Korea time). However, the second-place group is chasing hard.
Judge and Ohtani drew their 37th arches of the season side by side, narrowing the gap with Raleigh to two.
First of all, Judge made a two-run shot against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada. When Toronto starter Chris Bassett's second 92.5-mile sinker flew into the middle of the sixth inning, trailing 2-4, he pushed it and slightly over the right-center fence.
The ball, which flew like a clothesline with a launch angle of 24 degrees and a batting speed of 110.1 miles, hit the hand of a male fan waiting to catch it on the fence in the middle of the right and fell to the ground. The home run was confirmed again through a review by the umpires. It was his 37th homer of the season, which was 398 feet for the geese.

The Yankees tied the game 4-4 with Judge's home run in the sixth inning, but lost 4-8 in the bottom of the sixth and seventh innings by allowing two runs each.
Ohtani played as the second designated hitter in the final game of the three consecutive home games against the Minnesota Twins at Dodger Stadium and hit a solo home run over the middle in his first at-bat after one out in the first inning, continuing his cannon streak for five consecutive games.
After being driven into a two-strike against Minnesota right-hander Chris Paddack, when the 79-mile curve of the third pitch fell into the middle, he hit the ball with a 34-degree firing angle, 110.3 miles (177.5 kilometers) and 441-foot (134.4 meters) large solo arch.
As a result, Ohtani hit a two-run shot to left-center in the third inning, a two-run shot to left-center in the third inning, a two-run shot to left-hander in the first inning against Minnesota on the 22nd, and a two-run shot to left-hander in the ninth inning on the 23rd, and a solo home run in the first inning of the day to activate his home run for five consecutive games.

Arizona Diamondbacks Auhenio Suarez, who was shooting cannons at a scary pace in the second half of the year, remained silent against the Houston Astros on the 23rd and 24th, maintaining 36. Ohtani overtook Suarez to regain the top spot in NL home runs.
Philadelphia Phillies Kyle Schwarber hit a two-run shot in the bottom of the first inning against the Boston Red Sox on the same day as the previous day, chasing Ohtani and Suarez with 34 for the season.
With the current pace, Raleigh hits 62, Judge hits 59, Ohtani hits 58, Suarez hits 57, and Schwarber hits 54 home runs respectively. In other words, five home run hitters will be born for the first time in history. If last year's pattern is reproduced, Judge and Ohtani are likely to beat Raleigh and compete for home run leaders again. The two players may have reached the 60th home run mark together.
