He is 28 years old this year. He has hit exactly 40 home runs each of the last three seasons. If he continues to hit 40 homers per year he will reach #600 when he is only 37 years old. That is a pretty strong pace.
Of course, if he gets injured that would set him back. But if he hits more than 40 for a few years he may even hit 700 if he plays to age 40. He certainly has the power to hit 50+ homers per year, but his 100 walks per year deprive him of at-bats. His Ks don't help either.
Incidentally, Dunn is 6th on the all-time Reds HR list. He is 4 homers behind George Foster, who had 244 as a Red. Ted Kluszewski had 251.
