NextImg:Mets’ Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto join rare 30-30 MLB history

Francisco Lindor joined Juan Soto in the 30-homer, 30-stolen base club with a monstrous shot during Thursday’s 8-5 win over the Cubs.

And, on top of that, the Mets stars joined rare company.

Lindor and Soto became just the third pair of teammates in MLB history to go 30-30 in the same season.

Former Mets All-Stars Howard Johnson and Darryl Strawberry became the first-ever teammates to accomplish the feat in 1987.

Dante Bichette and Ellis Burks were the second with the 1996 Rockies.

Lindor, who already had a 30-30 season with the Mets in 2023, stepped up as a right-handed batter with the bases empty against Cubs lefty Shota Imanaga and sent it 408 feet to left field and out of Wrigley Field entirely.

Soto had joined the 30-30 club earlier in September, the first time he’s done so in his big league career.

If Soto were to steal four more bases over the last four games of the regular season, he’d become the first Met to go 40-40.
