In Sunday’s win over the Atlanta Braves, Story blasted his 27th home run of the season. It was part of a 2-for-4 day for the rookie shortstop that raised his average to .275 on the season to go along with those 27 homers and 69 RBI.
Story’s 27 homers are the second-most for a rookie in Colorado Rockies history. He bypassed Todd Helton on Sunday and now has his sights set squarely on the mark of 28 set by Wilin Rosario in 2012.
Much like when Story burst onto the Major League Baseball scene at the start of the season, the 23-year-old is once again in the middle of a homer frenzy.
