Adam Dunn: hitting his stride as a big league slugger: young left-handed swinging outfielder developing into one of game's most threatening batsmen.
ACCORDING TO CINCINNATI REDS FIRST baseman an Casey, Adam Dunn is a rare player. Says Casey: "He's one of those special talents who comes around once every 20 years, you know what I mean? Adam is someone who really changes a game and can hit the ball as far as anybody in the league."
In 2004, Dunn hit a career-high 46 home runs, 19 more than he had totaled in any season since coming to the major leagues in 2001.
Last Year, he joined Hall of Famer Johnny Bench as one of the only two Cincinnati players to hit 40 or more home runs in a season before age 25.
Many of Dunn's home runs are towering shots, and it is striking that Dunn's 2004 statistics are similar to those of Reggie Jackson in 1969 and Darryl Strawberry in 1987, when both were up-and-coming superstars.
Dunn made up for a subpar month of May in 2004 by hitting 11 home runs in both June and August. Last season, Dunn set career bests in games played, at-bats, runs, hits, doubles, batting average, and runs batted in.
His 2004 home run total was tied with that of Albert Pujols and behind only Adrian Beltre for the National League's best.
Dunn's 2004 success was particularly impressive considering that during the 2003 season, he had batted .215 and knocked in only 57 runs in 116 games while missing 42 games with a sprained thumb.
