The Franchise House Run Chief For Each MLB Staff

Pete Alonso made Mets history with his 253rd home run in their uniform, as it made him their all-time leader. An event like this is rare, especially in the era of free agency where players can move around to other teams far more often than they used to, but it does happen. 

Here are the current all-time home run leaders for all of MLB’s 30 teams, as well as commentary on many of the teams and players, and a look at who could be the next Alonso, taking over their franchise’s record.

Ronald Acuna Jr. is perhaps a famous person and already rank twelfth all-time amongst Braves in homers, however he has an extended approach to go to catch Henry Aaron, the solely participant in MLB historical past to hit at the very least 700 house runs with one group. As of Aug. 13, Acuna wants one other 554 homers to achieve Aaron. The three Braves on the entrance of this record — Aaron, Eddie Matthews (493) and Chipper Jones (468) — are all within the Corridor of Fame.

Babe Ruth is one in every of three gamers with at the very least 600 homers with a single group: he had 49 with the Crimson Sox earlier than the well-known commerce that despatched him to New York, and one other 6 with the Braves in his last season. The Yankees very almost had three gamers with at the very least 500 house runs on the high of their leaderboard, between Ruth, Mickey Mantle (536) and Lou Gehrig (493). On the tempo Aaron Decide goes at — he reached 350 homers in fewer video games than anybody in historical past — they may get there earlier than the last decade is out.

The Giants are the one group in MLB whose high three gamers hit at the very least 500 house runs for them: Willie Mays is on the high of the record with 646 of his 660 profession homers, Barry Bonds is second with 586 of his MLB-record 762, and Mel Ott third with 511 dingers. Mike Yastrzemski was the group’s energetic chief earlier than he was traded to the Royals on the 2025 deadline; now it’s Wilmer Flores, who has simply 88.

Mike Schmidt has been safely in first place for the Phillies since nicely earlier than his profession ended: he handed Del Ennis’ 259 mark throughout the 1980 season, after which performed one other 9 seasons simply as a lot energy after that. Bryce Harper was the energetic chief in homers for the Phillies, however Kyle Schwarber just lately handed him. He’s nonetheless 375 behind Schmidt, although, and a pending free agent, as well.

David Ortiz has extra profession house runs than Ted Williams, with 541, however he performed for the Twins earlier than he joined the Crimson Sox, leaving him 38 behind on the franchise rankings. Rafael Devers had 215 homers earlier than he was traded to the Giants, good for tenth all-time for Boston, however now Jarren Duran (46) is just a bit additional behind Williams as the brand new energetic chief.

Albert Pujols ranks second in Cardinals’ historical past with 469 of his 703 profession lengthy balls. That first quantity can be no. 1 for 21 of the 30 MLB franchises, nevertheless it wasn’t sufficient to go Stan Musial in St. Louis.

Andrew McCutchen has no probability at transferring up the Pirates’ record any additional, however he’s already within the high three because of his return to Pittsburgh. Equally, energetic chief Jose Altuve (250) goes to have a troublesome — okay, unattainable — time unseating Jeff Bagwell, however Craig Biggio (291) and Lance Berkman (326) are in play. 

The Tigers are the primary group on this record and not using a single 400-homer hitter. Al Kaline was only one off, and Miguel Cabrera hit his first 138 lengthy balls with the Marlins earlier than racking up one other 373 with Detroit, which tied him with Norm Money for second.

The Angels don’t have a 400-homer hitter but, however as soon as energetic and all-time chief Mike Trout collects two extra dingers, that can change. 

You don’t consider catchers as premier energy hitters fairly often, however Johnny Bench is the historic exception that not even Joey Votto (356) nor Frank Robinson (324) might catch.

The Dodgers is perhaps probably the most stunning group to not have a 400-homer hitter of their ranks, contemplating the gamers who’ve come by way of the group in its 142 seasons. With the best way Shohei Ohtani is mashing the ball, although, perhaps he’ll get there sometime. Within the meantime, Max Muncy is the energetic chief with 207 bombs.

That Todd Helton is the franchise chief for the Rockies with 369 homers is a good reminder that the park’s offensive wildness is constructed largely round simply how a lot outfield there may be there, to counter the thinner air. In a associated story, Helton had 592 doubles, good for twentieth all-time in MLB.

Jose Ramirez is already second in Cleveland Guardians’ historical past with 280 homers: with 57 extra, he’ll tie Jim Thome. As Ramirez has gone yard 153 occasions because the begin of 2021, together with 25 in 2025 alone, that may not take all that lengthy to perform.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (179) has a methods to go to unseat Carlos Delgado, who’s 156 dingers forward of him, however he additionally signed a 14-year contract extension with the Blue Jays in the beginning of this season. So he’s obtained a while.

ALL-TIME LINEUPS FOR ALL 30 MLB TEAMS

Corridor of Famer George Brett smacked 317 house runs in his Royals profession, and he is perhaps unseated by a rarity: a catcher. Salvador Perez is 23 homers behind Brett, and has hit 21 in his age-35 season. Attending to 400 might be out of the query for Perez, as is ending with extra homers than Bench, however taking on for Brett can be fairly nice by itself.

Josh Bell is perhaps the energetic chief for the Nationals now, however that’s simply because James Wooden has simply 196 MLB video games behind him. If Wooden sticks round as an alternative of leaving like Harper or being traded like Juan Soto earlier than him, it doesn’t take a lot creativeness to consider somebody along with his energy might make it to the highest spot sometime.

Brandon Lowe (149) is the energetic Rays chief, in third all-time for them and 112 house runs behind Evan Longoria. As he’s in his age-30 season, passing Longoria is perhaps doable. He has to remain in Tampa Bay for that to occur, nevertheless, and that’s not precisely their M.O. 

Ketel Marte is 62 house runs behind Diamondbacks’ chief Luis Gonzalez, however first he’ll must go Paul Goldschmidt (209) to get there. Marte is in his age-31 season and just lately got here right into a extra constant energy stroke, so that is attainable as long as he stays in Arizona. He’s presently underneath contract so long as doubtlessly by way of 2031.

Manny Machado turned the Padres all-time house run chief in 2024, when he handed Nate Colbert. If he retains it up, he may rid the Padres of their long-held awkwardness about not having principally any energy hitter in these rankings, and even get to 300 with them. Machado is underneath contract by way of 2033, in his age-40 season, so he’ll even have loads of probabilities to make it occur.
