Which active players are in contention for the "Fastest Player To 50 Homers" leaderboard?
The following players are all at least half-way to the total and theoretically on-pace to make this leaderboard:
| Player | Current HR | Proj Games To 50 Homers | Proj Total Games @ 50 Homers | Proj Leaderboard Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Colson Montgomery | 30 | 71 | 177 | 8th |
Note: Some players on this leaderboard might show up as having 51 or 52 home runs, which means they hit multiple HRs in the game in which they crossed the milestone. In order to normalize the modern statistics and the historic ones (for which there is no play-by-play data), all the stats shown here are based on per-game statistics. Meaning that the at-bat total might not be the exact at-bat in which the player reached the milestone, only the number of ABs and PAs they had at the conclusion of the game in which they reached the milestone.
