The Yankees made good on their insurance policy when Soriano rose to the challenge as the team’s closer following Mariano Rivera’s freak year-ending knee injury, sustained while shagging batting practice flies. 3.29 ERA, 18 wins, 11 losses, 32 starts, 213.1 innings, 1 stolen base allowed, 6 caught stealing/picked off, 27 grounded into double plays. Johnson was the primary reason the Orioles won 29 of 38 one-run games while breaking a 14-year streak of losing seasons. It would be the first of two straight years in which Johnson recorded at least 50 saves, an American League first. The 33-year-old veteran was tough in the clutch, allowing a slim .184 batting average with runners in scoring position. After losing it in Toronto following a splendid 2009 campaign, Hill regrouped in Phoenix and became the second player to hit for the cycle twice in a year—collecting his 1,000th career hit during the second such achievement.
In baseball, a home run is scored when the ball is hit so far that the batter is able to circle all the bases ending at home plate, scoring himself plus any runners already on base, with no errors by the defensive team on the play. An automatic home run is achieved by hitting the ball on the fly over the outfield fence in fair territory. More rarely, an inside-the-park home run occurs when the hitter reaches home plate while the baseball remains in play on the field. In Major League Baseball , a player in each league wins the home run title each season by hitting the most home runs that year. Only home runs hit in a particular league count towards that league's seasonal lead.

Maris' mark was broken 37 years later by both Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa during the 1998 home run record chase, with McGwire ultimately setting a new record of 70. Barry Bonds, who also has the most career home runs, then broke that mark, setting the current single season record of 73 in 2001. Of the four players to break Maris' record, one has since admitted to the use of performance-enhancing substances during his playing career and two others are both widely suspected to have used such substances as well. The 1998 and 2001 seasons each had four players hit 50 or more home runs – Greg Vaughn, Ken Griffey Jr., Sosa, and McGwire in 1998 and Alex Rodriguez, Luis Gonzalez, Sosa, and Bonds in 2001. The lowest home run total to lead a major league was four, recorded in the NL by Lip Pike in 1877 and Paul Hines in 1878.
Stanton made a full recovery, and resume his spot as one of the leading offensive players in the National League. Ruth set the Major League Baseball single-season home run record four times, first at 29 , then 54 , 59 , and finally 60 . Ruth's 1920 and 1921 seasons are tied for the widest margin of victory for a home run champion as he topped the next highest total by 35 home runs in each season. The single season mark of 60 stood for 34 years until Roger Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961 for which MLB assigned an asterisk until reversing themselves in 1991 citing Maris had accomplished his record in a longer season.

Matthew Ryan “Matt” Kemp (September 23, 1984-) finished second to Ryan Braun in the National League Most Valuable Player voting in 2011 after leading the NL in runs scored , RBI , total bases and home runs . He bested Braun in every offensive category except slugging percentage and batting average. The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Matt in the sixth round of the 2003 MLB Amateur Draft and he debuted in center in 2006. For his career, Kemp has impressed with a .983 fielding percentage and 67 outfield assists and only 40 errors in 2,310 chances. He led the Dodgers to the NLCS in 2008 and 2009, won two Gold Gloves and two Silver Sluggers, won one Hank Aaron Award and was a back-to-back NL All-Star in 2011 and 2012. Matt Kemp signed with the San Diego Padres after the conclusion of the 2014 season, and played for them through 100 games of the 2016 season, at which point he was traded to the Atlanta Braves.
Over the course of his 22-season career, Babe Ruth led the American League in home runs twelve times. Mike Schmidt and Ralph Kiner have the second and third most home run titles respectively, Schmidt with eight and Kiner with seven, all won in the National League. Kiner's seven consecutive titles from 1946 to 1952 are also the most consecutive home run titles by any player. Mark McGwire led the league in home runs 4 times including 52, 65, and record-breaking 70 home run seasons. His 58 home runs in 1997 led neither league due to a mid-season trade which split this total across 2 leagues.

Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton (November 8, 1989-) was the third youngest Marlins player to break the Major League roster and went 3-for-5 in his big debut. He starred at California’s Verdugo Hills and Notre Dame High Schools at both football and basketball with baseball coming in as his third best sport. Stanton was focused on becoming a professional athlete and showed significant improvement after transferring to the Notre Dame and employing a baseball coach to help him hone his skill. Though he fielded scholarship offers to play football from numerous top Division I schools, he accepted a scholarship to play baseball at the University of Southern California.
Babe Ruth was first or second in the American League in home runs for every season from 1918 through 1933 except 1922 and set the single-season home run record four times. The only other players to have hit 700 or more are Babe Ruth with 714 and Albert Pujols with 703. Alex Rodriguez , Willie Mays , Ken Griffey Jr. , Jim Thome , and Sammy Sosa are the only other players to have hit 600 or more. In the sport of baseball, a home run is a hit in which the batter scores by circling all the bases and reaching home plate in one play, without the benefit of a fielding error. This can be accomplished either by hitting the ball out of play while it is still in fair territory , or by an inside-the-park home run.
The Florida Marlins then selected Michael in the second round of the 2007 MLB Amateur Draft. Stanton began the first part of his career as Michael, until 2012 when he chose to revert back to his given name of Giancarlo. He showed exceptional power at all levels of minor league play with 116 home runs in 436 games before being called up the Marlins big club. Giancarlo began playing with the Miami based team in 2010 and was named to the 2011 National League All-Star team.
Lip Pike led the league with four home runs in 1877, tied with Paul Hines for the lowest total to ever lead a league. A player is considered inactive if he has announced his retirement or has not played for a full season. This is a list of the 300 Major League Baseball players who have hit the most home runs. The lanky lefty, who impressed right out of the box a couple of years earlier with little minor-league seasoning needed, excelled in his first season as a starter. Weaver’s outstanding year—matching Price’s record—featured his sole career no-hitter that actually took 28 outs to complete; one of two Minnesota runners to reach on the day did so via a third-strike passed ball.
Listed are all Major League Baseball players with 223 or more home runs hit during official regular-season games (i.e., excluding playoffs or exhibition games). Players in bold face are active as of the 2022 Major League Baseball season , with the number in parenthesis designating the number of home runs they have hit during the 2022 season. The last change in the cutoff for the top 300 occurred on September 11, 2022, when Eugenio Suarez hit his 223rd career home run, displacing Jason Bay and Don Mattingly. 3.05 ERA, 17 wins, 8 losses, .680 win percentage, 29 starts, 192 innings, 14 stolen bases allowed, 16 caught stealing/picked off, 20 grounded into double plays. 2.56 ERA, 20 wins, 5 losses, .800 win percentage, 31 starts, 211 innings, 20 grounded into double plays.

On October 4, 2022 Aaron Judge hit his 62nd homerun of the year off Jesús Tinoco of the Texas Rangers passing Roger Maris for the AL home run record 61 years after Maris set it and making him only the sixth person to hit at least 60. The tall, relatively anonymous one in a big-name Detroit rotation , Fister still made news both good and bad—from striking out nine straight batters in a late season start to getting drilled in the head by a comebacker during the World Series. The southpaw was one of Texas co-owner Nolan Ryan’s brief success stories, working up over 200 innings while following the Hall-of-Fame ace’s insistence on better arm strength. His downfall would come the following year with back surgery that essentially ended his career.
