TL;DR Summary

Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. is on track to join an exclusive club of baseball players who have achieved both 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a single season. Currently with 26 home runs and 55 stolen bases, Acuña is approaching a new power-and-speed frontier that no player has ever reached before. The closest players to this milestone include Rickey Henderson, who had 28 home runs and 87 stolen bases in 1986, and Eric Davis, who had 27 home runs and 80 stolen bases in 1986. If Acuña can reach 40 home runs and 50 stolen bases, he would achieve a feat that has never been accomplished in baseball history.
