With the Dodgers and Padres playing Wednesday at 6 AM EDT in Korea, the 2024 MLB season gets a soft launch. The Baseball Musings Batter Rankings puts these five hitters at the top of the list:
- Yordan Alvarez of the Astros
- Juan Soto of the Yankees
- Aaron Judge of the Yankees
- Bryce Harper of the Phillies
- Corey Seager of the Rangers
The game between the Dodgers and Padres will certainly be star-studded, with a number of players from the top 30 in the list:
- Shohei Ohtani – 12th
- Xander Bogaerts -14th
- Manny Machado – 15th
- Mookie Betts – 26th
- Freddie Freeman – 30th
We’ll see how much two days of play will move these players up the rankings.
