Ronald Acuña Jr. recently joined Mike Trout and Andruw Jones as the only three players in Major League Baseball (MLB) history to record a 30/25 (30 home runs/25 stolen bases) season prior to their 22nd birthday. He is four stolen bases away from joining Trout as the only two players in MLB history to record a 30/30 season prior to their 22nd birthday.
Acuña’s two home runs last night lifted him past Mickey Mantle with the 7th-most home runs by a player prior to his 22nd birthday.

Tony Conigliaro - 84
Ken Griffey Jr. - 60
Frank Robinson - 60

Acuña is quickly turning into one of the best five-tool players in the MLB.
