300 HRs 400 SBs The club has exactly 2 members: Bobby Bonds Barry Bonds Currently sitting at: 232 HRs 318 SBs I would have said just 2 short years ago the SBs were probably out of reach, but those larger bases are allowing him to still snag 15-20+ a season. This year and next he needs to make hay and get to 270 HRs and 360 SBs. Then I think he's on cruise control over the next 3 seasons to reach the milestones.
HOF regardless is there a better teammate than that guy? Amazing player. Not perfect by any stretch, but still a must see amazing game changing player. (I’m not saying you agree or disagree. Just throwing it out there)
I like this comment, but also ask you to consider that it's possible future events can take you out of the HOF, whether you agree or not. Two which are clear examples are Barry Bonds and Pete Rose. A slightly less clear example is Berkman who just got caught in a rule change just when he became eligible.
If he is healthy, 300 HR should be the first attainable milestone. He only needs to average 14 over 5 seasons (including this one), 17 over the next 4 or 23 over the next 3. I predict he gets 300 HR in Aug. '27 400 SB in Aug. '28 and 3000 in July '29.
Well 2 titles and being 2nd all time in post season HRs absolutely seals the deal. Oh yeah and that MVP.
What a crazy stat and it's a father son duo that hold it..........................had no clue, but that is very cool
I'm firmly in the corner of he might hit these marks, or he might not. I will be watching regardless.
Altuve on pace for ~160 hits this season and should finish 2025 right near 2400 career hits. 600 more hits over his age 36-39 seasons seems like a tall ask but if he stays healthy and doesn’t fall off too far he can get there. If I’m making predictions I think finishes his current contract with just over 2800 career hits and so he will need to play his age 40 and 41 seasons as a reserve or part time player seems to get that last 150-200 hits. I think he easily gets 300 HR but I don’t see him getting 400 SB. How many guys have 300 HR and 300 SB?
8 players, Bonds and Bonds plus 6 others Willie Mays Andre Dawson Steve Finley (yeah that guy) Reggie Sanders (I can see it) Alex Rodriguez Carlos Beltran None of these made it to 350 SBs. Altuve will.
Altuve has a chance to be the ONLY player other than Willie Mays to have 3000 hits, 300 HR, and 300 SB.
The 300 HR’s look the most attainable; which when he first came up to the big leagues would have made anyone scoff at Altuve being associated with the notion of hitting 300 HR for his career. The hits race to 3K is a marathon task. By Keeping his current pace he definitely makes it happen, but it’s better to take milestone records like that in stride. If it happens it’s massive, if he falls short, he still goes down as the greatest Astro to date. And the steals race comes down to the manager too often. Some managers don’t necessarily like to expose their players to the tax on the body that comes about with stealing bases.
