The Chicago Cubs have become a power-hitting machine this season.

While several players have made strides in the home run department, Seiya Suzuki is on a tear unlike anything in his MLB career.

Suzuki clubbed two home runs in a 6-1 win over the Detroit Tigers on Saturday at Comerica Park, as the Cubs totaled five on the day. It was his third multi-home run game of the year, something he had only done three times in his previous three seasons combined.

There’s no question that Suzuki — his 16 home runs are a top-10 mark in MLB — is finding more power this season than ever before. His numbers are All-Star quality. He’s slashing .269/.332/.563 with an .895 OPS this year, and his 55 RBI are the second-most in the NL. But he’s also had some rough stretches that he’s been able to bounce back from.

“I always have ups and downs,” Suzuki told reporters postgame, via interpreter Fumiya Nakata. “But when I have bad times, I always find the issue and fix it. That’s how it’s been — making adjustments.”

After Suzuki hit a red-hot .321 in April, he began May with a major 13-game slump in which he went 8-for-55 (.145). Now, he’s finding his form again, because he’s been able to pinpoint what he does well.

“Everything is different — the pitchers I’m facing, the environment,” Suzuki said. “I always look back at the videos of when I’m good, take the good parts of what I’m doing and (apply) it to now.”

Last season, Suzuki didn’t hit his 16th home run until August, totaling 21 by the season’s end. This year, he’s on pace for twice that total.

It’s indicative of an explosive Cubs offense, which has hit the fifth-most home runs in MLB thus far (88) and is on pace to hit 222. In 2024, the Cubs finished in the bottom third of the league with 170.

Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong, who have been the Cubs’ most productive hitters this year, are both enjoying breakout seasons on offense. Crow-Armstrong, who went deep on Saturday for his 17th home run of the year, told reporters that he and Suzuki egg each other on. It’s perhaps become a motivating factor for both hitters to put on a show at the plate.

“I let him know today that he had to hit two and I still got him,” Crow-Armstrong said of Suzuki with a smile. “I said, any day that he hits a homer I’m going to have to do it as well. If that turns into real motivation, great. That’s awesome.”

Crow-Armstrong has steadily been in All-Star conversations since he began to heat up in mid-April, and as Suzuki gets hot at the right time, he could join his teammate at the Midsummer Classic come July. But Suzuki isn’t worried about that quite yet.

“I’m giving my best every game, and trying to do the best I can,” Suzuki said. “I don’t really think about the (All-Star Game), but if it comes at the end of what I’ve done, that would be great.”
