  • Aaron Judge is the best hitter in the league in 2024.

Offense is now the name of the game in baseball, and many of the best hitters are putting on a show during the 2024 MLB season.

While most of the best offensive players are playing for the top MLB odds contenders, there are plenty of sluggers to watch throughout the 2024 campaign.

MLB Hitter Power Rankings 2024

3Bobby Witt Jr.Kansas City Royals
4Shohei OhtaniLos Angeles Dodgers
5Yordan AlvarezHouston Astros
6Vladimir Guerrero Jr.Toronto Blue Jays
7Marcell OzunaAtlanta Braves
8Gunnar HendersonBaltimore Orioles
9Bryce HarperPhiladelphia Phillies
10Rafael DeversBoston Red Sox

1. Aaron Judge

Heโ€™s well on his way to a second AL MVP odds honor. Judge has cracked the 50-homer threshold for the third time in his career and is chasing a triple crown down the stretch.

2. Juan Soto

Soto has delivered for the Yankees in his first season after being traded from the San Diego Padres. He and Judge make up a terrifying tandem at the top of the New York lineup.

3. Bobby Witt Jr.

Witt is having a breakout season that is good enough to win an MVP. But he will have to settle for boosting the Royalsโ€™ playoff odds after Kansas City lost 106 games last year.

4. Shohei Ohtani

Ohtani left the Angels for a $700 million deal with the Dodgers. The two-way superstar isnโ€™t pitching in 2024, but is remarkably putting up an MVP campaign as a DH.

5. Yordan Alvarez

Thanks to Alvarez’s offensive play, the Astros have climbed out of an early hole.

6. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Guerrero has reminded everyone heโ€™s one of the more talented players in the league despite Toronto’s exit from playoff contention this year.

7. Marcell Ozuna

The Braves have been ravaged by injuries this season, but Ozuna has helped steady the lineup on a nightly basis.

8. Gunnar Henderson

The reigning AL Rookie of the Year odds winner has taken the next step as a player for the Orioles.

9. Bryce Harper

Harper, who has moved to first base this year, continues to lead the way for a Phillies team that has made the NLCS in consecutive seasons.

10. Rafael Devers

While heโ€™s made the All-Star Game in three of the past four seasons, Devers might be one of the more underrated stars in the league. He consistently delivers for the Red Sox.
