The exclusive 40/40 club remains one of the most impressive feats for an individual to accomplish in all of baseball. It requires a rare combination of both power and speed in order to hit 40 home runs and steal 40 bases in the same season.
It’s done so rarely that only four players in all of baseball history have achieved this daunting task. With that said, Javier Baez has become a superstar with the Chicago Cubs and is a player who just may have the potential to put together a 40/40 campaign.
In Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds, Javier Baez hit an opposite field blast for his 28th home run of the season.
