What Current MLB Players Have a Legit Shot at Breaking the Career Home Run Record?
With the career home run record standing at 762, set by Barry Bonds in 2007, many current MLB players are within striking distance of breaking this historic mark. Here are a few contenders:
- Aaron Judge (Yankees): The 30-year-old slugger is a consistent power hitter, having led the league in homers three times. With 287 career home runs, he has a realistic chance of breaking the record if he maintains his current pace.
- Mike Trout (Angels): Despite injuries, Trout is a perennial All-Star and one of the most talented hitters in baseball. At 31 years old, he has 310 career homers and could break the record if he remains healthy and productive.
- Ronald Acuña Jr. (Braves): The 25-year-old Venezuelan sensation has shown immense power and has already hit 142 career home runs. With his youth and injury history, he has a potential to make a run at the record.
Other players who could potentially challenge the record include Shohei Ohtani (Angels), Giancarlo Stanton (Yankees), Pete Alonso (Mets), and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Blue Jays).
