On April 28, 2026, at 20:10, Munetaka Murakami of the Chicago White Sox is on track to hit 67 home runs this season. In a game against the Angels, Murakami seized a crucial opportunity in the seventh inning with no outs and runners on second and third, hitting a go-ahead three-run homer to right-center off a left-handed pitcher. This marked his 12th home run of the season, propelling him to the top of the major league leaderboard. With 29 games played, he is on pace for 67 home runs. The record for most home runs by a Japanese major leaguer is held by Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers, who hit 55 last season. Ohtani, who has returned to the starting rotation as a two-way player, has hit six home runs so far this season. Meanwhile, Seiya Suzuki of the Cubs, who started the season late due to injury, hit his fifth solo home run in a recent game against the Padres, making it five home runs in his last seven games. Kazuma Okamoto of the Blue Jays has hit five home runs, including one in a game against the Guardians on April 26. Masataka Yoshida of the Red Sox, who has had limited playing time this season, has yet to hit a home run but has a batting average of .261 and an OPS of .719 over 17 games. These five players, who have all played for Samurai Japan, are among the top Japanese power hitters. It remains to be seen how many more home runs they will hit this season. The record for Japanese players hitting 30 or more home runs in a season includes Ohtani's 55 in 2025, 54 in 2024, 46 in 2021, 44 in 2023, and 34 in 2022, as well as Suzuki's 32 in 2025 and Hideki Matsui's 31 in 2004. As of April 28, 2026, MLB fans are also reacting to a grand slam by college player Rintaro Sasaki, showcasing Japan's power hitters. Ohtani recently had a standout performance with six hits, three home runs, and ten RBIs against the Marlins. Suzuki is in excellent form against the Padres, hitting a solo home run and a sharp single. Ohtani's first home run in 12 games since joining the Dodgers marks his longest gap in recent seasons, despite hitting over 50 home runs in the past two seasons. Aaron Judge celebrated his 34th birthday with his 10th home run, placing him third in the league, just one behind leaders like Murakami, though the Yankees fell short in their ninth-inning rally.
