Okamoto Ties Ohtani's Rookie HR Record | MLB News
Description
Kazuma Okamoto just tied Shohei Ohtani’s historic rookie home run record with his 22nd blast this season, a three-run shot that powered the Blue Jays to victory. At 30, Okamoto’s power and adaptability are already putting him in elite company — he also hit his first grand slam and now leads all Blue Jays rookies in homers before the All-Star break. While he’s thrilled to match Ohtani’s mark, his focus remains on closing the gap with the legend, who recently hit his 300th career homer — the first Japanese player to do so. Okamoto’s rise is a testament to Japan’s growing dominance in MLB.
