Olsen's '43 home run' hits Ohtani, who leads the hitter's power rankings


Otani Maintains No. 1 Power Ranking for Batter
Olsen Jumps from 4th to 2nd

While Ohtani Shohei (LA Angels) is leading the batter's power ranking, Matt Olson (Atlanta Braves) is closely following.

MLB Dotcom, the official website of Major League Baseball, released the batter's power ranking on the 18th (Korea Standard Time).

Otani remained in first place again this time.

Ohtani is the No. 1 American League (AL) home run this season, sending 42 pitches off the fence. He was also ranked first in OPS with an OPS (on-base percentage + slugging percentage) of 1.071.

The media said, "Ottani is approaching 46 home runs in 2021 when he won the MVP and the most 47 home runs in the Angels batter season set by Troy Gloss in 2000."

The batter who threatens Otani is Olsen.

Olsen, who drew seven arches in 16 games in August, has 43 home runs this season, leading the National League (NL) as well as the Major League.

He remained in fourth place in the last batter's power ranking, but this time he jumped two steps to mark second place.

The media said, "Olson hit 43 home runs to overtake Otani, and he is in the lead in the Major League with 107 RBIs," adding, "It is not surprising that Olson's power ranking has risen." Olsen is showing a 58-home run pace this season, he explained.

Ronald Acuña Jr. (Atlanta), a step down from the previous evaluation, came in third.

Dodgers hitters Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts ranked fourth and fifth side by side.
