After making his Major League debut, Dunn hit 12 home runs in the month of August, the most for a National League rookie in one month. In 2004, Dunn set a Cincinnati Reds franchise record with 46 home runs. He also joined Joe Morgan as the only Reds players to score 100 runs, hit for 100 RBIs and draw 100 walks in one season.

Despite his ability to drive the ball deep, Dunn has been criticized for his high tendency to strikeout. In 2004, he broke the Major League strikeout record with 195 for the season. Ryan Howard would beat the record in 2007 with 199 strikeouts.
