- Ronald Acuña Jr. is the best hitter in the league in 2024.
- The Yankees now have two elite sluggers in Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.
Offense is now the name of the game in baseball, and many of the best hitters are ready to put 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.

1. Ronald Acuña Jr.
Acuña became the first player in AL/NL history to hit 40 or more home runs (41) and steal 70 or more bases (73) in the same season when he won the NL MVP award.
2. Aaron Judge
After slugging 62 home runs in 2022, Judge was limited to 367 at-bats last summer. When healthy, Judge remains one of the best hitters in the sport.
3. Mookie Betts
Betts is moving 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
4. Juan Soto
Soto played all 162 games for the Padres last season, leading the majors in walks (132) for the third time in his six-year career. Now he’s wearing pinstripes, and the AL MVP odds favorite.
5. Shohei Ohtani
Ohtani left the Angels for a $700 million deal with the Dodgers. The two-way superstar won’t pitch in 2024, but that only raises expectations for his offensive ability.
6. Yordan Álvarez
ZiPS projects Houston’s designated hitter to lead all hitters in wRC+ (167) this year.
7. Freddie Freeman
The Dodgers’ No. 3 hitter has only led MLB in doubles for the last two seasons.
8. Bryce Harper
Harper, who is moving to first base, will be an NL MVP odds contender again after winning the award in 2021.
9. Julio Rodríguez
Rodríguez is a popular MLB MVP odds prediction after leading the AL with a 4.1 WAR from July 1 through the end of last season.
10. Corey Seager
After leading his team to a World Series victory last fall, Seager deserves to be recognized as one of the best players in the league.
