The High Point Rockers have tied the professional baseball record for grand slams in a season this year with 14.
Only four other professional baseball teams have hit as many grand slams in a season. At the Major League level, the 2006 Cleveland Indians and the 2000 Oakland A’s each hit 14.
At the minor league level, the Class AAA 2022 Albuquerque Isotopes (Colorado) mashed 14 slams as did the Class AAA 2023 St. Paul Saints (Minnesota).
The Rockers have set a club record for bases-loaded homers this year and broke the previous Atlantic League record of 10 set by the York Revolution in 2024.
This season, the Rockers grand slam bonanza has been led by Ben Aklinski with four and Evan Edwards with three. Also slugging grand slams in 2025 were SS Aidan Brewer, C Nolan Watson, C Isaiah Mirabal, OF Alex Dickerson, INF Max Viera, 3B Drew Mendoza and DH Braxton Davidson.
Remarkably, the Rockers hit at least one grand slam in each month of the season.
High Point opens the Atlantic League postseason on Saturday, September 20 at the Gastonia Ghost Peppers.
