Munetaka Murakami joins 2 elite Japanese-born sluggers in rare home run streak
Munetaka Murakami is taking Major League Baseball by storm. The slugger’s most recent home run against the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 21 has him on a streak of a home run in four consecutive games, raising his season total to nine. He currently trails only Yordon Alvarez of the Houston Astros, who has 10 homers on the young season.
One defining feature of Murakami’s early-season power surge is how quickly the homers have piled up. He opened the year going deep in each of his first three games, added a few more along the way, and now finds himself riding a four-game home run streak. That latest run puts him in elite territory alongside a select group of Japanese-born sluggers.
Including Munetaka Murakami, just three Japanese born sluggers have hit home runs in four consecutive games
Scott Merkin of MLB.com highlighted just how rare Murakami’s power surge has been. With his latest home run streak, he’s become only the third Japanese-born player to accomplish the feat, joining Shohei Ohtani and Seiya Suzuki, with Ohtani having done it twice in his career.

Sarah Langs also pointed out that Murakami’s nine home runs are the most of any Japanese-born player in his first 23 MLB games. He has three more than any other Japanese-born player in first 23 MLB games, ahead of Shohei Ohtani, who had six in his first 23 games as a hitter.
This early-season surge has quickly turned into one of the most notable power displays in recent memory, especially given the history being made. Performances like this reinforce why Murakami was viewed as one of Japan’s premier sluggers, and thankfully that aspect of his game is translating nicely during his first month as a member of the White Sox.
