Miami Marlins and division all-time home run leaders list

The Miami Marlins are busy making roster moves in preparation for a hopefully better season next year. For all the struggles, the team did find a new leader this season as well. Speaking of leaders, did you ever wonder who is leading each NL East team in home runs historically? I have the answer for that right here! Are you ready?

Who leads the Miami Marlins historically in home runs?

Let's start with the Miami Marlins' division rivals. We'll start with the man in the picture for this article. The legendary RF Hank Aaron of the Atlanta Braves. Aaron has 733 career home runs, which is higher than anyone on this list. The Hall of Famer has a career .305/.374/.555. The World Series winner with the Milwaukee Braves in 1957, he accumulated a remarkable 143.1 WAR for his career. He played for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves from 1954 to 1974, then played his final two seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers. I don't see anyone passing him on the team in decades if ever.

The Philadelphia Phillies all-time home run leader is 3B Mike Schmidt with 548 home runs. The Hall of Famer is often considered to be the greatest third baseman of all time. It's going to be a long time if someone can even challenge that record in Philly. He played for the team from 1972 to 1989.

How about the New York Mets? It's none other than Darryl Strawberry. The former RF leads the team with 252 home runs. He played there from 1983 to 1990. Current 1B Pete Alonso is actually very close with 223 career home runs! If he re-signs with the team as a free agent this off-season, he's a lock to set a new Mets career home run record.

The Washington Nationals have 3B Ryan Zimmerman, who leads the team historically with 284 homers. I expect that record to be passed in the next two decades. He probably isn't the player you'd think about as setting the record, but believe it or not he is. "Mr. National" played for the team from 2005 to 2021.

Finally, the Miami Marlins.. It's former RF Giancarlo Stanton. He has 267 career home runs and will likely be passed by the next power hitter who sticks around for the long-term. Stanton played for The Fish from 2010 to 2017.
