Template:Short description

Barry Bonds joined the 30–30 club in five seasons, a record he shares with his father Bobby.

In Major League Baseball (MLB), the 30–30 club is the group of 51 batters who have collected 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in a single season.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="elite">Template:Cite journalTemplate:Dead link</ref> Baseball Digest called the 30–30 club "the most celebrated feat that can be achieved by a player who has both power and speed."<ref name="elite" /><ref name="blend" /> Six members have been elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Ken Williams was the first to achieve this, in 1922.<ref>Template:Cite journalTemplate:Dead link</ref><ref name="30–30">Template:Cite web</ref> He remained the sole member of the club for 34 years until Willie Mays achieved consecutive 30–30 seasons in 1956 and 1957.<ref name="30–30" /><ref name="blend">Template:Cite journalTemplate:Dead link</ref> Bobby Bonds became the club's fourth member in 1969; he subsequently became the first player to achieve the mark in three, four, and five seasons.<ref name="blend" /><ref name="bonds">Template:Cite web</ref><ref name="30–30" /> His son Barry Bonds is the only other player with five 30–30 seasons.

In total, 51 players have joined the 30–30 club, with 17 achieving it multiple times, resulting in 77 individual seasons overall. Of these 51, 31 were right-handed batters, 14 were left-handed, and six were switch hitters. Twelve of the 51 players (including seven active members of the 30–30 club) have played for only one major league team.<ref group="upper-alpha">The Baseball-Reference.com profiles of each player verify their active status and service time.</ref> The New York Mets are the only franchise to have five players reach the milestone. The Atlanta Braves, Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and San Francisco Giants each have had three players reach the milestone. 6 franchises, the St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, and Chicago White Sox have never had a 30-30 season.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Five players – Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa – are also members of the 500-home-run club,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> and Aaron, Mays and Rodriguez are also members of the 3,000-hit club.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Dale Murphy, Jose Canseco, Barry Bonds, Larry Walker, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Braun, Mookie Betts, Ronald Acuña Jr., and Shohei Ohtani won the Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in the same year as their 30–30 season; Bonds did so twice, in 1990 and 1992.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Mays and Rollins also reached the 20–20–20 club in the same season.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref name="maysref" /> A single season has seen as many as seven players accomplish 30–30; this happened only once, in 2025 (Corbin Carroll, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Pete Crow-Armstrong, Francisco Lindor, José Ramírez, Julio Rodríguez and Juan Soto).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The feat has been accomplished by teammates three times: Darryl Strawberry and Howard Johnson for the 1987 New York Mets, Ellis Burks and Dante Bichette for the 1996 Colorado Rockies, and Soto and Lindor for the 2025 New York Mets. Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals was the first shortstop to achieve multiple 30–30 seasons, reaching this milestone in both 2023, with 30 home runs and 49 stolen bases, and 2024, with 32 home runs and 31 stolen bases,<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> before being joined by Francisco Lindor who had his first 30-30 season in 2023 having both 31 home runs and stolen bases, then doing it again in 2025 with 31 home runs and stolen bases.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> Mike Trout became the youngest member of the 30–30 club, doing so at the age of 20 in 2012.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> The oldest players to record a 30–30 season did so in their age-32 season: José Ramírez (2025), Barry Bonds (1997), Dante Bichette (1996), Ellis Burks (1996), Bobby Bonds (1978), and Ken Williams (1922).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
