The first player in MLB history! Royals' young star Bobby Witt Jr. has achieved "20 home runs and 30 steals" in each of his first four seasons.

Regarded as the Kansas City Royals' "young prince," Bobby Witt Jr. has made a historic milestone in Major League Baseball. Recently, he blasted his 20th home run of the season against the Detroit Tigers. With 34 stolen bases already, Witt has reached the mark of "at least 20 homers and 30 steals" in each of his first four seasons, becoming the first player ever to do so in MLB history.

Bobby Witt Jr. was the second overall pick in the 2019 MLB draft, with Adley Rutschman of the Baltimore Orioles going first. Witt was promoted to the majors in April 2022, and after 150 games, he posted 20 home runs and 30 steals, showcasing his rare "power-speed" talent. The following year, he improved to 30 homers and 49 steals, solidifying his role as the Royals' young leader.

Before the start of the 2024 season, the Royals signed Witt to an 11-year, $288 million contract (approximately 2.09 billion RMB), with a maximum extension of 14 years and $377 million (around 2.73 billion RMB), securing him for life. That year, he delivered an incredible performance with 32 home runs, 31 steals, and a slash line of .332/.389/.588, finishing second in MVP voting, just behind Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees.

This year, Bobby Witt Jr. continues to perform strongly, though his numbers appear slightly down compared to his incredible stats last year. Julio Rodríguez of the Seattle Mariners, who debuted the same year as Witt, posted 28 homers and 25 steals in his first season and 32 homers and 37 steals in his second. However, Rodríguez's performance dipped last year to 20 homers and 24 steals, with a slight rebound this year to 26 homers and 24 steals so far.
