Spencer Steer: Five things to know about rookie star, Cincinnati Reds' home run leader

Cincinnati Reds rookie Spencer Steer hit his team-leading 16th home run Wednesday night against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Steer also leads the Reds in games played (105), hits (106), doubles (22) and walks (46). Though he made a strong case to be an All-Star in his first full big-league season and wasn't selected, future All-Star appearances appear likely.

Among the most memorable highlights of Steer's young career so far: a walk-off homer in a 7-5 win June 30 against the San Diego Padres.

And Steer homered, doubled, walked twice and scored the game-winning run in his Major League debut last September.
