Summary
Kazuma Okamoto just shattered rookie records—literally—by hitting his 22nd home run of the season, tying Shohei Ohtani’s 2018 mark for most homers by a Japanese-born MLB rookie. His game-changing three-run blast against the Padres didn’t just chase a number—it turned the tide and secured the Blue Jays’ win. Humble as ever, Okamoto credits Ohtani and vows to keep improving, already on pace to break the record before the All-Star break. With a showdown against the Padres looming, the rookie’s historic run is just getting started. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
