Opening Day for the 2024 MLB season is finally upon us. While teams vie for the chance to win the World Series, their players are vying to make baseball history. These are the milestones that stand between some of the league\u2019s brightest stars and the record books. All of these milestones are within reach for the 2024 MLB season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notable MLB Milestones That Could Be Reached In 2024<\/h2>\n

Aaron Judge: 43 Home Runs to 300<\/h3>\n

Aaron Judge<\/span><\/a> has been breaking records since he debuted with the New York Yankees in 2016. His 52 home runs in 2017 broke the MLB rookie record of 49 set by <\/span>Mark McGwire<\/a><\/span> and the Yankees full-season rookie record of 29 set by <\/span>Joe DiMaggio<\/a><\/span>. Judge was also the first rookie to win the Home Run Derby in MLB history. In 2022, Judge hit 62 home runs, breaking the AL single-season record for home runs set by fellow Yankee <\/span>Roger Maris<\/a><\/span> in 1961. The five-time All-Star has 257 career home runs and is 43 home runs away from reaching 300 career home runs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Trout: 32 Home Runs to 400<\/h3>\n

Mike Trout<\/span><\/a> is one of the greatest baseball players of all time. Trout is an 11-time All-Star, a nine-time Silver Slugger winner, and a three-time AL MVP while finishing second four times. Over his 13-year career, Mike Trout has hit 368 home runs and ranks 84th in MLB career home runs. Trout is currently 32 home runs away from reaching 400 career home runs. With his first home run this season, he would tie <\/span>Ralph Kiner<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>Todd Helton<\/a><\/span> for 82nd all-time (369). Once he reaches the 400 career home run milestone, he will surpass <\/span>Al Kaline<\/a><\/span> and <\/span>Andr\u00e9s Galarraga<\/a><\/span> for 59th all-time.<\/span><\/p>\n
