This happens in really life too. The one that immediately sprung to mind for me was Mark McGwire his rookie year (1987), where he opened the season in a platoon with Rob Nelson but took over the full time job and went absolutely insane in May. He had 19 HRs in about 40 games by the end of that month and finished with 49.

Understood. I'm still betting on Ohtani to hit around 60 homers.
