During the 1960s, Cepeda established himself as a reliable power hitter in the National League (NL), making seven All-Star appearances. He began his career with the Giants in their inaugural season in San Francisco and quickly gained recognition, earning the NL Rookie of the Year title in 1958. In that season, Cepeda showcased his batting prowess with a .312 average, 25 home runs, and 96 RBIs, while also leading the league with 38 doubles. From 1958 to 1963, he consistently ranked among the league leaders in batting average, home runs, RBIs, slugging percentage, and total bases. In 1959, Cepeda became the first Puerto Rican player to start an All-Star Game. Notably, in 1961, he narrowly missed out on the NL Most Valuable Player (MVP) award, finishing as the runner-up. This recognition came after an exceptional season where he led the league with 46 home runs and 142 RBIs, a record that still stands for right-handed hitters in the club.
