Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Cody Bellinger of the Los Angeles Dodgers are the first pair of young stars to each record 30 home runs since 2007. Aaron Judge has homered a league-leading 34 times this season. During the All-Star Home Run Derby, Judge became the first rookie to win the race outright. Cody Bellinger has homered 30 times this season, and is the 3rd fastest player to hit 30 home runs in history, in just 87 games. Bellinger is a big part of the Dodgers’ success this year. The red-hot Dodgers lead the league with a record of 80-33, and have completed the best 50-game stretch since 1912 with 43-7. The Dodgers also have a good chance of making history with the most wins in a season.
