Home Run Leader Contenders
Aaron Judge, New York Yankees
Aaron Judge finished the 2024 season with the highest home run count in the league. Judge clubbed 58 home runs, finishing ahead of Shohei Ohtani, though Ohtani and the Dodgers beat the Yankees in the World Series. Judge is the favorite to finish this season with the most home runs as well. He will need every one of those home runs to help the Yankees succeed now that Juan Soto is out of the picture for the Yankees after signing with the Mets.
Shohei Ohtani, Los Angeles Dodgers
Also hoping to lead MLB in home runs this season is Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ohtani is a hitter who can hit for both average and power, as we have seen throughout his career. He finished second to Judge in home runs last season. However, there will be questions about Ohtani’s ability to put up huge home run numbers again this year as he is expected to resume pitching at some point during the 2025 campaign.
Kyle Schwarber, Philadelphia Phillies
In 2024, Kyle Schwarber finished eighth in the league in home runs, belting 38 big flies for the Philadelphia Phillies. Schwarber had a great balance between home run hitting at home and on the road, with a nearly equal number of dingers both in Philly and elsewhere. He will need to improve on his home run figures to catch up to Judge and Ohtani this year, but he certainly has the track record to where we know that is not impossible.
Other HR King Contenders
There are plenty of other contenders who could end the 2025 season with the highest home run total in MLB. Pete Alonso and Juan Soto are both dangerous hitters who could put up huge numbers in New York as members of the Mets. If Fernando Tatis can play a full season for the San Diego Padres, he could end up at the top of the home run charts. And sluggers like Yordan Alvarez and Matt Olson can’t be counted out in this race either, just to name a few of the top contenders.

Claim Bonus - Aaron Judge will have less protection in the Yankees lineup than he did last season with Juan Soto no longer on his team.
- Olson hit 54 home runs in 2023 and could certainly contend for this award at a much better price than Judge and Ohtani.
