Sorry if this has been posted already. His slugging percentage is .664 right now. According to the Sporting News Record Book, the NL record for SLG by a rookie in 100+ games is .621 by George Watkins in 1930. The AL record is .618 by McGwire in 1987. So if he plays enough, he can break this record (and if he stays away from Aaron Rowand).
