The Liga Mexicana del Pacífico has its own quiet power race, and in 2025 it hit a milestone worth paying attention to. Agustín Murillo crossed the 100-home-run threshold in the LMP, becoming the second active player in league history to reach that mark. Above him, Japeth Amador remains the most consistent long-ball threat the winter league has seen in years. Behind them both, Jesse Castillo holds third place among active players and has that same century mark squarely in his sights.
What 100 Home Runs Actually Means in the LMP
Getting to 100 home runs in the LMP isn’t a one- or two-season achievement. It’s a full career built winter by winter — staying available when the schedule is short, keeping your swing sharp when your body is asking for a break, and showing up to the ballpark year after year when most guys are already home.
That’s what makes Murillo’s milestone meaningful. The LMP runs a condensed schedule with tight series and nowhere near the at-bat volume of a full MLB or even AAA season. Racking up 100 home runs in that format — across Venados, Yaquis, Naranjeros, and the rest — speaks directly to how consistently dangerous Murillo has been over a long stretch of winters.
Japeth Amador: Why Sitting First on That List Is No Accident
Anyone who has watched Amador play more than one winter season won’t be surprised to see his name at the top of the active home run leaderboard. His value isn’t built on one spectacular run — it’s built on sustained production, clutch home runs, and being a legitimate threat every single at-bat, season after season.
Baseball doesn’t always celebrate consistency with the same noise it gives to the highlight-reel shot. But the historical leaderboards don’t lie: the player at the top over the long haul isn’t the one who had the winter of his life — it’s the one who kept showing up. That’s Amador.
Jesse Castillo: Third Place, and the 100-HR Mark on the Horizon
Castillo currently sits third among active LMP home run hitters, still below the 100 mark. The gap is real, but the question writes itself: how many more winters does he need to catch Murillo and start chasing Amador’s shadow?
The current leaderboard is a snapshot, not a final answer. And in the LMP, those snapshots shift every November.
- Japeth Amador — No. 1 among active players
- Agustín Murillo — No. 2 among active players, 100+ HR milestone reached in 2025
- Jesse Castillo — No. 3 among active players, closing in on 100
Three names, one record to chase. All three are reason enough to keep your eyes on Mexican winter ball this season.
