Unbelievable Rookie Power Surge: Who Shattered MLB’s Home Run Record in Their First Year?
3. 5 – Kyle Schwarber, Chicago Cubs (2015)
In his 2015 rookie season, Schwarber nearly single-handedly won the Wild Card Game against the Pirates. The outfielder hit a homer and drove in three of the team’s four runs, sending the Cubs to the National League Division Series against the Cardinals. Schwarber provided run support for the team with homers in three consecutive games as Chicago advanced to the NL Championship Series for the first time since 2003. Though Schwarber hit two dingers, the Mets extended the Cubs’ title drought with a sweep.
