Major League Baseball’s all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds, needed 640 games to reach the 100-100 club and was 25 years and 353 days old when he reached the feat. Both of those marks Witt Jr. bested by reaching the accomplishment Tuesday.

Witt represents the new guard of multi-dimensional superstars. He finished runner-up to Aaron Judge for 2024 AL MVP and is a two-time all-star who won a Gold Glove last year. He has stolen at least 30 bases in each of his four MLB seasons while twice reaching 30 homers.

The swing Bobby Witt Jr. was seeking in the eighth inning Tuesday night was simple, one in which he could just find the barrel on a pitch that he knew he could drive. It ended up being a statement.
