AS YOU MAY KNOW…Julio Rodríguez is closing in on his 2nd-consecutive 25 HR/25 SB season, having hit 24 home runs and stolen 36 bases so far this season after hitting 28 home runs and stealing 25 bases last season, but…DID YOU KNOW?…that with his next home run, he will become the first player in MLB history to hit 25 homers and steal 25 bases in each of his first two Major League seasons? only 8 other players have managed a 25 HR/25 SB seasons in one of their first 2 MLB seasons…if Julio reaches the 25 home run, 40 stolen base mark this season, he will become just the 3rd player in MLB history to do so in his age-22 season or younger, joining 22-year-old Alex Rodriguez-SEA (42 HR, 46 SB in 1998) and 20-year-old César Cedeño-HOU (25 HR, 56 SB in 1973).
