Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. (24) hit the milestone for the second year in a row.

In a home game against the Detroit Tigers at Copman Stadium on the 18th (Korea Standard Time), the junior succeeded in stealing second base at the next batter Salvador Perez's at-bat after a walk in the first inning.

He stole 30 bases for this season. He had 32 homers before the game, but he stole 30 to 30 bases.

He hit 30 home runs and 49 steals last year, followed by 30-30 for the second consecutive year.

"MLB.com " introduced that he is the first professional shortstop to achieve 30-30 twice.

It is not common for shortstop to record 30-30 in itself. So far, only Barry Larkin (1996) Alex Rodriguez (1998), Jimmy Rollins (2007), Hanley Ramirez (2008), Francisco Lindor (2023), and Thewee Jr. have done so.

It is also noteworthy that he set this record at an early age. MLB.com said that he is the first player to record 30-30 more than twice at the age of 24.
