I don't think his body will hold up to get to 600 homeruns.

Unless he's moved to an American league team and he can split time at DH.

If he stays healthy and the home run environment (juiced ball?) stays the same, I can see him regularly putting up 45+. Two big ifs, though.

And him being consistently healthy is a big if

He will prob hit 50 homeruns this year, and hopefully that is the new norm for him.



Sosa, A-Rod, Mark McGwire, and Babe Ruth are the only players with more than two seasons with 50 homeruns.

Three of the four were using steroids and the other is the GOAT.

His 162 game average is 43

Health is the only thing that has held and will possibly hold him back in the future

If you look at any homeruns hitter, their best seasons are 30 and after. Stanton hasn't peaked yet.
