Mets' Juan Soto joins six MLB legends after 250th HR that bodes well for Hall of Fame bid

Reaching 250 home runs in a career and 95+ stolen bases in a career are already impressive feats, but the combination of the two is especially impressive.

But what makes this such a unique statistic is that Soto and these six MLB legends all accomplished these two benchmarks before turning 28 years old.

Soto is 27 and doesn't turn 28 until October 25th, giving him plenty of time to join some more ridiculous records before reaching 28 years old.

In his nine-year MLB career, Soto has 250 homers and 96 stolen bases. While he's been a consistently great power-hitter, his out-of-nowhere 38-stolen-base 2025 season was a major help in reaching this exclusive company in MLB history.

All of these players are either in the Hall of Fame already, or, in Trout's case, will be a first-ballot lock once he's eligible.

This is some incredible history, and it bodes well for his chances to make the Hall of Fame when he retires.

Obviously, he needs to add more statistics to his resume to have a good chance at the honor, but he's already putting together a great career, and he's only 27.
