Question of the Day: Youngest 30/30 Player in MLB

October 9, 2023
Bobby Witt Jr. became the youngest Royal with a 30/30 season, but one player did it even younger.

Former Sports Star of Tomorrow Bobby Witt Jr. made history with the Kansas City Royals—but not the youngest 30/30 record.

At 23, Witt became the first Royal to hit 30 home runs and steal 30 bases in a season. However, Mike Trout accomplished the feat at age 20 in 2012 with the Angels. Both players showed their elite athleticism in high school before dominating at the professional level.
