### Shohei Ohtani Leads MLB Jersey Sales for Second Consecutive Year

Shohei Ohtani has made history once again, leading Major League Baseball jersey sales for the second year in a row and becoming the first player ever to achieve 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases within a single season. This milestone reflects Ohtani's widespread popularity and immense impact both on and off the field.

Following Ohtani in jersey sales is Philadelphia's Bryce Harper, with the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge and the Dodgers' Mookie Betts also among the top sellers. Remarkably, the top four spots on the list remained unchanged from the mid-season All-Star break announcement. In 2022, Betts was at the top of the list, while Ohtani ranked seventh.

Francisco Lindor of the New York Mets made notable progress, climbing two spots to secure fifth place. This shift caused Atlanta's injured outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Yankees' Juan Soto to each drop one position. Houston’s Jose Altuve saw a rise to eighth position, while San Diego's Fernando Tatis Jr. slipped to ninth.

Other noteworthy movements include Nolan Arenado of the St. Louis Cardinals, who moved up to the 10th spot, and Texas' Corey Seager, who fell to 11th. Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero also saw an ascent, moving up two places to 12th position. Philadelphia's Trea Turner remained steady at 13th, with Cincinnati’s Elly De La Cruz advancing to 14th and the Mets’ Pete Alonso dropping three spots to 15th.

San Diego's Manny Machado rose to 16th place, while Cleveland’s José Ramírez made his debut in the top 20 at 17th. Dodgers' Freddie Freeman moved up to 18th position. Notably, Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw entered the list at 19th after returning to play on July 25, following shoulder surgery. Rounding out the top 20, Baltimore's Adley Rutschman experienced a four-slot drop to 20th. Missing from the current list are Atlanta's Matt Olson and Toronto's Bo Bichette, who both dropped out of the top 20.
