Masanao Yoshida. ←If you hit it, you’ll hit it.It’s not just hitting. He has achieved results as the “center hitter of the team.” In particular, Munetaka Murakami has an OPS of over .900 as of May 2026. American League home run king. Even though Ohtani is said to be in a “slump”, he is still in the top of the Dodgers. Seiya Suzuki is also the core of the Cubs batting lineup.
