## Resource

Kazuma Okamoto just shattered Japanese rookie home run records in MLB, blasting his 23rd homer of the season — a three-run shot that vaulted him past Shohei Ohtani’s 2018 mark. Despite a slump and a loss, the Blue Jays’ third baseman snapped a hitless streak and continues to lead his struggling team in power stats. With another rookie, Munetaka Murakami, hot on his heels and Okamoto just one homer from the Jays’ rookie record, the race for rookie power is far from over — and his journey is just beginning.
