What feat did Ronald Acuna Jr. achieve?

During Thursday’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves, Ronald Acuna Jr. achieved a mention-worthy feat when he hit his 30th homer of the season, which was a grand slam.

Acuna Jr. is the first player in the history of MLB to have accomplished this feat. He is the first player to have hit over 30 home runs and to have stolen more than 60 bases in a single season.

Players who had come close to this feat are Eric Davis (1987) and Barry Bonds (1990), who had stolen over 50 bases while hitting 30 home runs. However, nobody has ever achieved what Acuna Jr. did.
