Judge hit his 55th home run of the season in an away game against the Oakland Athletics on the 23rd (Korea Standard Time), ranking first in both leagues. However, on the same day, Ohtani also registered his 53rd home run of the season by hitting a tying solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium, maintaining two gaps with Judge.
When Judge hit two home runs against Colorado on the 26th of last month and reached 51 home runs for the season, Ohtani had 41 home runs. The gap between the two players has narrowed sharply from 10 to two in nearly a month. This is the result of Ohtani's explosive chase while Judge continued his home runless silence in 16 consecutive games, the longest in his career since the Colorado match.
In particular, Ohtani showed off his peak hitting sense by hitting 6 hits, 10 RBIs, 4 runs and 2 steals in 6 at-bats, including 3 home runs, against the Miami Marlins at Rondipo Park on the 21st. Judge, who is watching the daily 'Otani Show', has no choice but to stick his tongue out.

Ohtani's recent performance is also evident in figures.
Ohtani marked a batting average of 0.778 (14 hits in 18 at-bats), five homers, 13 RBIs, nine runs and six steals in four games from the 20th to the 23rd. No player has achieved such a performance in four games since the RBI appeared as an official record in 1920.
Ohtani has also batted .500 (16 for 32) with six homers, seven steals, 17 RBIs, 11 runs scored and an OPS of 1.668 in seven games over the past week. Betts, who hit a back-to-back home run with Ohtani in the ninth inning against Colorado, also said, `This is why he gets $700 million. We just need to support him."

As of the 24th, Ohtani has a batting average of 0.301 (184 hits in 611 at-bats), 53 home runs, 123 RBIs, 128 runs, 78 walks, 55 steals, 0.383 on-base percentage, 0.640 slugging percentage, 1.023 OPS, 94 long hits, and 391 hits. Combining the two leagues, they ranked first in scoring, long hit, and slugging, and continued to lead NL home runs, RBIs, runs scored, slugging percentage, and OPS. It is the first time in 43 days that Ohtani has recovered his batting average of 300 since August 11.
Judge has a batting average of 0.323 (176 hits in 545 at-bats), 55 homers, 138 RBIs, 118 runs, 129 walks, 10 steals, 0.458 on-base percentage, 0.695 slugging percentage, 1.153 OPS, 92 long hits, and 379 hits. It ranks first overall in home runs, RBIs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, and OPS.
The bWAR and fWAR are 8.4, 8.3, and the jersey is 10.3, 10.7. The wRC+ has a jersey of 216 and Ohtani of 177. In the overall statistical comparison, Judge is ahead of Ohtani. However, Ohtani's success with 50 home runs and 50 steals and 32 consecutive stolen bases is not a record that Judge can dare to do. It is a rival of the 'half of voluntary opposition', but Judge naturally has no choice but to express admiration.
