The 12 Game Hot Streak that Earned Randy Arozarena an All-Star Bid

I usually give my mom an eye roll when she offers sports takes—even though she’s been a Mariners season ticket holder for 25 years. But when she told me I had to write about Randy Arozarena’s hot streak, I had to pause. “Yeah, okay mom…” But turns out, she was dead right.

Randy isn’t just hot—he’s scorching. He’s launched 9 home runs during the 12 games stretch, tied (with Cal Raleigh) for most by any player in MLB over a 12-game stretch this season. Not even Aaron Judge or Shohei Ohtani has done that in 2025.

In this article, I’ll break down—stat by stat—just how incredible this run has been for Randy Arozarena, and how he eventually landed a spot on the AL All Star squad in 2025.

Baseball’s Most Underrated Star? Randy Arozarena’s Case for Superstardom"

Randy Arozarena’s career has always had the markings of superstardom. Since winning AL Rookie of the Year, he’s become a fixture in the 20/20 club—posting 20+ home runs and 20+ stolen bases in each of his first four full MLB seasons. That kind of consistency is rare, especially for a player not always treated like a household name. By contrast, even stars like Julio Rodríguez—who’s achieved 20/20 in each of his first three seasons—haven’t yet matched Arozarena’s four-year run.

He’s also proven he can shine on the biggest stages. During the 2023 World Baseball Classic, Arozarena was electric for Team Mexico, slashing .450 with six doubles, a homer, nine RBIs, and multiple highlight-reel defensive plays. He was unanimously named to the All-WBC Team and emerged as one of the tournament’s most captivating stars.

Yet despite this résumé, Arozarena’s road hasn’t been perfectly smooth. He’s faced inconsistency at the plate and extended cold spells that have made it easy to overlook just how high his ceiling is. But every now and then—like the scorching hot streak he’s on now—he reminds us that when he’s locked in, few players in baseball are more dynamic.

Randy’s Meteoric Rise: Outpacing Judge with MLB’s Hottest Power Surge

This chart is incredible. You’ve got both the AL MVP leader in Aaron Judge and the NL MVP leader in Shohei Ohtani both trailing Randy Arozarena in most Home Runs during a 12 game stretch. The only other player in the MLB with such a stretch is HR leader Cal Raleigh!

His current 12-game stretch isn’t just surprising—it’s elite. The chart below illustrates just how steep this climb has been for Randy’s All-Star Bid!

What makes this even more impressive is the context: Arozarena isn’t typically mentioned in the same breath as Judge or Raleigh when it comes to raw power. Yet over this stretch, he’s not just keeping up—he’s outperforming them. It suggests a potential turning point in his season, or even a glimpse at another level he can reach. When a player outside the usual MVP conversation starts producing like one, it demands attention—not just as a hot streak, but as a statement.
