Unbelievable Rookie Power Surge: Who Shattered MLB’s Home Run Record in Their First Year?
2. 6 – Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Rays (2008)
Longoria started off the 2008 ALDS with a bang, knocking out two home runs in Game 1 against the White Sox. The Rays sent them home in four games, and in the AL Championship Series against the Red Sox, Longoria hit a homer in four consecutive games. The slugger had three RBIs in a 9-8 win in Game 1 and helped the team take a 3-1 lead in the series. After narrowly eliminating Boston in seven games, the Rays made their first World Series appearance in franchise history. With just one hit and no homers, Longo had run out of steam and the Rays lost in five games.
