Yahoo Sports senior MLB analyst Jake Mintz and senior MLB analyst Jordan Shusterman debate who will finish this season with the most home runs: Cal Raleigh, Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani. Hear the full conversation on the “Baseball Bar-B-Cast” podcast - and subscribe on Apple Podcasts,

Shohei Ohtani starts the game strong with a towering leadoff home run to center field, setting the record for most home runs by a Dodger before the All-Star break

In two weeks, eight of baseball's top sluggers will meet in the 2025 Home Run Derby at Truist Park in Atlanta. Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. will represent the host team. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is the only other player to commit to the event so far. The full eight-player Home Run Derby field will be revealed in the coming days.

Ohtani averaged 96.8 mph with his heater for the Los Angeles Angels in 2023, his last season as a full-time pitcher. He went 38-19 in five seasons as a starter for the Angels with a 3.01 ERA and 610 strikeouts in 483 2/3 innings.

One of the most electric home-run hitters in the MLB is Los Angeles Dodgers two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani. However, fans will have to temper their expectations as to him participating in this year's MLB Home Run Derby in Atlanta in July.

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani praised Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski, who struck out 12 over six innings in a 3–1 win over Los Angeles.

Shohei Ohtani has looked good on the mound since his return to two-way duties last month. The hitting still remains at an MVP level, but some underlying stats show a decline.
