Summary
Kazuma Okamoto is crushing it for the Blue Jays—21 homers in 90 games, a power surge that’s got MLB’s eyes on him for the Home Run Derby. After 11 stellar seasons in Japan, where he hit over 240 homers and was a six-time All-Star, Okamoto’s rookie magic includes a rare grand slam—his first, and the first by a Blue Jays rookie since Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 2019. With one derby spot still open and the Jays in a tight division race, Okamoto’s hot streak makes him the perfect candidate to shine on the biggest stage. All-Star break looms—and this could be his breakout moment. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
