Julio Rodriguez Is First Player With 25 HR, 25 SB In First Two Seasons 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Sep 5, 2023 12:05 pm

Julio Rodriguez has made Major League history as the first player ever to record 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases in each of his first two seasons.

Rodriguez hit his 25th home run in the Seattle Mariners\' 6-3 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday.

He has 36 steals, putting him in position to possibly become the fourth player with a 25-40 year in his age-22 season or younger, along with Alex Rodriguez in 1998 (42 homers, 46 steals), Cesar Cedeno in 1973 (25 homers, 56 steals) and Mike Trout in 2012 (30 homers, 49 stolen bases).
