The 30-30 club has been considered a benchmark individual statistic in Major League Baseball over the decades — highlighting the combination of power and speed tools — even if it’s proven to be an increasingly rare feat with just five players registering 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season in the past decade.
