It is difficult to predict who will win the home run king.

1st place Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (Toronto Blue Jays, 45 homers) and 2nd place Shohei Ohtani (LA Angels, 44 homers) did not add a home run. Instead, Salvador Perez (Kansas City Royals, 44 homers) jumped to tie for second with a home run two days in a row.

Bulgejou finished the match first. On the 16th, he recorded two hits, two runs and one walk in three at-bats in a home game against the Tampa Bay Rays of the 2021 Major League Baseball at the Rogers Center in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Recently, he continued to feel hot, but he was unable to add a home run.He added a home run in succession against the Baltimore Orioles on the 13th and the Tampa Bay Rays on the 14th to take the top spot, beating Ohtani, but failed to add a home run in two consecutive games until this day.Still in September alone,he was very active with a batting average of .355, 6 homers, 7 RBIs, and 18 runs in 62 at-bats.

Perez is also hot. On the 16th, in a home game against the Oakland Athletics at Kaufman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, he scored two hits (one home run) and one RBI and two runs in four at-bats.He opened the 40-home run era for catchers for the first time in the American League, and he challenges himself to become the home run king. Following the three-run shot against Oakland on the 15th, the 6th inning was followed by a Jungwol solo shot. Oakland southpaw Sean Manea's second pitch sinker was well targeted.Perez has 16 hits, .286 6 homers and 16 RBIs in September in 56 at-bats.

On the other hand, Ohtani has not added a home run in four consecutive games since the Houston Astros on the 11th. Starting as the No. 2 designated hitter in an away game against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Latefield in Chicago, Illinois, he struck out two in five at-bats.

In September, Ohtani suffered a serious slump with a batting average of 0.158 in 6 hits in 38 at-bats. At this rate, let alone chasing Bulgejou, he could even give Perez second place in home runs. He could be an important variable in the American League MVP race.
