Shohei Ohtani crushes 2 more dingers, becomes first player to reach 30 home runs this season This dude is absolutely amazing.
Shohei Ohtani just keeps taking his mind-blowing 2021 season to new levels.
On Friday night against the Baltimore Orioles, the Los Angeles Angels’ two-way superstar cranked two more bombs, giving him 30 home runs on the season. He has three more homers than the next-highest mark (27 from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.), and that’s while also throwing 60 innings as a pitcher!
Ohtani set the Angels’ franchise record for homers before the All-Star break when he blasted No. 29 to right field in the bottom of the third inning.

Some good news on a Monday afternoon for fans in Twins Territory! One member of the Minnesota Twins has some additional hardware to add to his mantle today.
After an unprecedented month of April, outfielder Byron Buxton has been named the American League Player of the Month, and rightfully so. Buxton slashed .426/.466/.897 with eight homers, eight doubles, and 14 RBI. He touched home fifteen times and stole three bases on top of that. He currently owns a 2.4 WAR according to Baseball Reference, which is pretty good if my memory serves correctly, especially since it leads the A.L. He also has made some fine defensive plays, of course.
