Some players are power hitters. Others bring speed to the table. But the players that can bring a blend of power and speed are the rare unicorns of the baseball world. Sure, plenty of players exhibit power and speed in the minors. But they never learn to hit a curveball, or the power doesn’t translate to higher levels, or they lose a step or never learn when to read a pitcher and steal a bag.
The “40/40” club is still a very exclusive club. Only four players have ever hit 40 home runs and stolen 40 bases in a season - Jose Canseco, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, and Alfonso Soriano.
