He has been helping me since day one. I give him all the credit. He is the one who put me in this position and in this place to achieve what I have achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An achievement built step by step<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nSoto&#8217;s path to the 30-30 was built on months of dedication and intensive training in his base running, with the help of first base coach <strong>Antoan Richardson<\/strong>. Thanks to his guidance, the outfielder significantly increased his aggressiveness and efficiency when stealing bases.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Juan Soto is the first player to reach 30 HR and 30 SB this season \ud83d\ude24 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BJRDa1bqdn\">pic.twitter.com\/BJRDa1bqdn<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLB\/status\/1965582618747174933?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\nPower has never been an issue for Soto, who hit his <strong>30th home run<\/strong> on <strong>August 15<\/strong>. However, since the <strong>All-Star break<\/strong>, the Dominican has surprised even more with his speed: <strong>19 stolen bases<\/strong> versus <strong>15 home runs<\/strong> in that period.\n\nThe historic 30th base came in the eighth inning of the game that the Mets ended up losing <strong>9-3<\/strong>. Despite the disadvantage on the scoreboard, Soto did not hesitate to take the risk: it was his <strong>third stolen base of the game<\/strong> and he has only been caught <strong>three times all season<\/strong>.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Obviously, he&#8217;s a player you trust when it comes to making decisions,&#8221; said Venezuelan manager <strong>Carlos Mendoza<\/strong>. &#8220;Reaching 30 is a great achievement for him, but if you ask him, it&#8217;s not about his personal statistics.

This performance leaves him only <strong>two steals<\/strong> away from entering an even more exclusive group: the <strong>40-30 club<\/strong>, a milestone achieved in just <strong>15 seasons<\/strong> throughout the history of the <strong>MLB<\/strong> by legends like <strong>Hank Aaron<\/strong>, <strong>Alex Rodriguez<\/strong>, and <strong>Shohei Ohtani<\/strong>.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFor me it means a lot,\u201d Soto commented. \u201cIt&#8217;s part of your career path.
