Morning Report: Keon Broxton is Close to a Significant Accomplishment

Back in 1967, Johnny Jeter reached those four marks and no one has been able to match it since. Jeter ended up playing six years in the majors, making his debut when he was 24 years old. Broxton turned 25 back in May, so while he is a little old for a prospect, it's still an acceptable age for AAA success.
