Chicks dig the long ball, or at least that’s how the saying goes. This year’s MLB home run leaders are the best of the best when it comes to power and skill and there are a few that can really impress you.
This year’s top dog when it comes to home runs is Giancarlo Stanton. The Miami Marlins outfield has wowed us all with his HUGE home runs and as of Wednesday afternoon had hit 44 of them. He’s on pace for 60 and quite honestly he could hit even more than that before it’s all said and done. There are some surprising names on the list of top home run hitters like Joey Gallo (34), Khris Davis (33) and the most surprising of them all, Cody Bellinger (34). Bellinger didn’t even start the season in the MLB!
