Unbelievable Rookie Power Surge: Who Shattered MLB's Home Run Record in Their First Year?

Most Homers in a Single Game by a Rookie

1. 4 – Nick Kurtz, Athletics (2025)

The A’s phenom put together an epic power display with his four homers against the Houston Astros on July 25, 2025, but he also had one of the best all-around performances of all time. The 22-year-old first baseman went 6 for 6 with eight RBIs in the 15-3 win.

We’ll overlook the fact that his record-breaking homer came in the ninth inning off outfielder Cooper Hummel.

Most Homers in a Postseason by a Rookie

1. 10 – Randy Arozarena, Tampa Bay Rays (2020)

Arozarena surpassed his season total of seven homers with a rookie single-season record of 10 in the playoffs. He knocked out a solo shot against Gerrit Cole in the American League Division Series against the Yankees before homering in the next two games. After the Rays won the series in five games, Arozarena hit four round-trippers against the Astros. The last of which came in a 4-2 win in Game 7, propelling the Rays to the World Series. The hitter went yard three more times in the Fall Classic, including a solo shot in Game 6 that proved futile as the Dodgers won the title that same game.
