LOS ANGELES - Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. has become the first 30/60 player in baseball history.
Acuña hit a long grand slam in the second inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night, becoming the first player in major league history with 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in the same season.
Acuña sent a 429-foot shot to deep into the left field pavilion off Lance Lynn for his third career slam and first since 2021. Acuña has 36 career homers in August, his most in any month.
Hitting 30 home runs and stealing 60 bases in a single season, by a single player has not been accomplished in the more than a hundred years the game has been played professionally.
