The power-speed milestone highlights his rebound from injury during a tight playoff race.

Overview

  • Chisholm smashed his 30th homer in the seventh inning at Camden Yards, a two-run shot off Orioles lefty Dietrich Enns that cut the Yankees’ deficit to 3-2.
  • He became only the third Yankee to record a 30-30 season, joining Bobby Bonds (1975) and Alfonso Soriano (2002 and 2003).
  • At the time of the feat, the Majors’ only 30-30 players were Chisholm and the MetsJuan Soto.
  • He missed time with an oblique strain from April 30 to June 2 and then went nearly two months without a stolen base, according to manager Aaron Boone.
  • He earned his second All-Star selection this season and said the accomplishment would mean more if it comes with a division title.
