  • 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

1. Aaron Judge

After missing more than 50 games in 2023, Judge has reminded everyone that he’s the best hitter in the game when healthy.

2. Juan Soto

Soto has delivered for the Yankees in his first season since being traded from the San Diego Padres. He and Judge are a big reason New York is the best team in baseball.

3. Shohei Ohtani

Ohtani left the Angels for a $700 million deal with the Dodgers. The two-way superstar isn’t pitching in 2024, but he remains one of the best players in the sport while playing exclusively DH. 

4. Kyle Tucker

Tucker has been one of the more underrated players in the league for quite some time, but it’s difficult not to notice he’s on track for his best season yet.

5. Marcell Ozuna

Since the Braves lost Ronald Acuña Jr., Ozuna has helped lead the way for a team with hopes of contending in the NL.

6. Mookie Betts

Betts has moved to shortstop this year. But there is no denying what he can do with the bat, especially after hitting a career-high 39 homers last year.

7. Gunnar Henderson

Baltimore’s second-year shortstop has taken a massive leap as an offensive player after winning AL Rookie of the Year in 2023.

8. Bobby Witt Jr.

The third-year shortstop is firmly in the AL MVP race, as he’s led the Royals to playoff contention this season.

9. Bryce Harper

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

10. Freddie Freeman

The Dodgers’ No. 3 hitter has only led MLB in doubles for the last two seasons. Such is life in Los Angeles.
