Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani is on a mission in 2023, seemingly making some form of MLB history virtually every time he steps onto the field.
Through L.A.’s first 96 games, the two-way star has mashed 35 home runs, putting him on pace to approach Aaron Judge’s American League home run record of 62, which the Yankees slugger set last season.
Judge, who is currently sidelined by a toe injury, was asked about the possibility of Ohtani dethroning him so early into his tenure as the AL home run king. The 31-year-old indicated that his record is fair game, if Ohtani can pull it off.
