In going deep again Tuesday night, Mike Trout became the 33rd player ever and first rookie to hit 25 homers and steal 40 bases in a season.
Trout, who just turned 21 this month, is also the youngest to accomplish the feat.
Trout is one of 10 players with 25 HR-40 SB seasons since 2000:
Vladimir Guerrero - 39 HR, 40 SB in 2002
Alfonso Soriano - 39 HR, 41 SB in 2002
Carlos Beltran - 26 HR, 41 SB in 2003
Bobby Abreu - 30 HR, 40 SB in 2004
Carlos Beltran - 38 HR, 42 SB in 2004
Alfonso Soriano - 46 HR, 41 SB in 2006
Hanley Ramirez - 29 HR, 51 SB in 2007
Jimmy Rollins - 30 HR, 41 SB in 2007
Matt Kemp - 39 HR, 40 SB in 2011
Mike Trout - 25 HR, 41 SB in 2012
Trout won’t get to 40-40 this season, though perhaps he could have had he been on the Angels’ Opening Day roster (the 25 homers have come in 106 games). He does have a real shot of becoming just the third 30-50 guy ever. Eric Davis (37 HR, 50 SB) did it for the Reds in 1987. Barry Bonds (33 HR, 52 SB) accomplished the feat three years later for Pittsburgh.
