10 MLB players had 20HR/20SB seasons in 2012, including 2 30/30 guys. They are:
R. Braun (Mil) 41HR/30SB
M. Trout (LAA) 30HR/49SB
B.J. Upton (TB) 28HR/31SB
A. McCutchen (Pit) 31HR/20SB
J. Rollins (Phi) 23HR/30SB
J. Heyward (Atl) 27HR/21SB
Al. Rios (CHW) 25HR/23SB
I. Desmond (Was) 25HR/21SB
H. Ramirez (LAD) 24HR/21SB
C. Gonzalez (Col) 22HR/20SB
Few of the above are that surprising. But there are 7 other players that almost accomplished this feat (20+ in 1 category and w/i 3 of 20 in the other) and most of these probably will surprise you:
C. Gomez (Mil) 19HR/37SB
M. Saunders (Sea) 19HR/21SB
I. Kinsler (Tex) 19HR/21SB
B. Harper (Was) 22HR/18SB
P. Goldschmidt (Ari) 20HR/18SB
C. Headley (SD) 31HR/17SB
D. Espinosa (Was) 17HR/20SB
No doubt Y. Cespedes would have done it also if not for lost time due to injury.
Most of the guys that did it this yr have done it before: Braun,(2), McCutchen (1), Rios (1), Upton (2), Rollins (2), Ramirez (4), Gonzalez (2). Also, Kinsler has done it 3 times before.
To my knowledge, 5 players accomplished this in the minors this year.
