Most Home Runs, Season, By a Third Baseman # HR Player, Year 2. 48 Mike Schmidt, 1980 3. 47 Troy Glaus, 2000 5. 46 Vinny Castilla, 1998 7. 45 Chipper Jones, 1999 9. 43 Al Rosen, 1953 11. 42 Harmon Killebrew, 1959 12. 41 Tony Batista, 2000 18. 40 Ken Caminiti, 1996 25. 39 Harmon Killebrew, 1966 27. 38 Adrian Beltre, 2004 There are 18 different players on this list. Update: Great chart over at John's Dodger Blog showing how rare it is for a home run champion, as Beltre might be, to start the season batting seventh or lower in the lineup. Try 30 years since the last time it happened. Update 2: Take Killebrew off the top spot - he played half the season at first base.
