Stowers Mania! Marlins Star Chasing Stanton's Home Run Record!

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers is having a breakout season, and he's now chasing a franchise record held by none other than Giancarlo Stanton. Stowers, acquired by the Marlins in a trade with the Baltimore Orioles at the 2024 deadline, is making the Orioles regret that decision.

Stowers' Stellar Season

Stowers has been a revelation for the Marlins in 2025. In 94 games, he's batting .295 with a .930 OPS, 21 home runs, and 59 RBIs. His performance earned him his first All-Star selection, representing the Marlins at the Midsummer Classic.

Chasing History

Stowers is currently on a home run tear. He's hit eight home runs in July, tying for second-most in a single July in Marlins history. The leader? Giancarlo Stanton, with 12 in 2017. With over a week left in the month, Stowers has a real shot at surpassing Stanton's record.

• Stowers has hit 6 home runs in his last 5 games, a Marlins record.
• He's been instrumental in the Marlins' turnaround this season.
• Stowers was traded from the Orioles for pitcher Trevor Rogers.

Orioles' Regret?

The Orioles traded Stowers, along with infielder Connor Norby, to the Marlins for pitcher Trevor Rogers. At the time, the Orioles hoped Rogers would bolster their rotation for a potential postseason run. However, Stowers has blossomed in Miami, becoming an All-Star and a key player for the Marlins. The Orioles may be questioning their decision to trade him.

While the Marlins are still likely to be sellers at the trade deadline, Stowers' emergence as a star gives them a bright future to build around.
