A record 6,776 home runs were hit across Major League Baseball last season, eclipsing the previous leaguewide mark by a staggering 671 long balls.
On an individual level, a record 273 players reached double-digit home runs.
That group was led by New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso, who hit a rookie record 53 home runs en route to NL Rookie of the Year honors.
A newfound focus on launch angle and more players sacrificing contact rate for over-the-fence production means that power surge is unlikely to end anytime soon.
With that in mind, we set out to predict who will lead each team in home runs during the upcoming season, based on past track record, recent performance and future potential.
