HBT: Angels' Trout continues to amaze

In going deep again Tuesday night, Mike Trout became the 33rd player ever and first rookie to hit 25 homers and steal 40 bases in a season.

Trout, who just turned 21 this month, is also the youngest to?accomplish?the feat.

Trout is one of 10 players with 25 HR-40 SB seasons since 2000:

Vladimir Guerrero ? 39 HR, 40 SB in 2002
Alfonso Soriano ? 39 HR, 41 SB in 2002
Carlos Beltran ? 26 HR, 41 SB in 2003
Bobby Abreu ? 30 HR, 40 SB in 2004
Carlos Beltran ? 38 HR, 42 SB in 2004
Alfonso Soriano ? 46 HR, 41 SB in 2006
Hanley Ramirez ? 29 HR, 51 SB in 2007
Jimmy Rollins ? 30 HR, 41 SB in 2007
Matt Kemp ? 39 HR, 40 SB in 2011
Mike Trout ? 25 HR, 41 SB in 2012

Trout won?t get to 40-40 this season, though perhaps he could have had he been on the Angels? Opening Day roster (the 25 homers have come in 106 games). He does have a real shot of becoming just the third 30-50 guy ever. Eric Davis (37 HR, 50 SB) did it for the Reds in 1987. Barry Bonds (33 HR, 52 SB) accomplished the feat three years later for Pittsburgh.
