Cincinnati Reds Rookie Sal Stewart sets another MLB Record

Sal Stewart of the Cincinnati Reds has become part of baseball history as one of three rookies to hit 30 home runs in the same season, a feat that has never occurred before. Stewart leads all rookies with 31 homers, while Japanese players Munetaka Murakami of the White Sox and Kazuma Okamoto each have 30. This breaks an eight-way tie for the previous record, which was set when two rookies hit 30 homers in the same year, most recently in 2021 with Ryan Mountcastle and Adolis Garcia.
