"The 32-year-old infielder successfully stole two bases in Boston's 2-1 loss to the A's - making him a perfect 30-for-30 on stolen-base attempts so far this year. According to the Red Sox, Story is just the fourth player since MLB's expansion era (1961) to go a perfect 30-for-30 on swiped bags to open a season - joining a group that includes Trea Turner (2023), Carl Crawford (2009), and Vince Coleman (1989)."
""He's a guy that is using the whole field, even with two strikes. Obviously, the instincts - running the bases, that's incredible," Alex Cora said postgame of Story. "You go, you're safe. It has to be a great feeling. He's playing good baseball. He's having a great September, offensively, defensively, running bases, and we're very happy for him.""
"He is one of just four players in franchise history to record at least 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season, joining Jarren Duran (2024), Mookie Betts (2018), and Jacoby Ellsbury (2011)."
Trevor Story is 30-for-30 on stolen-base attempts after stealing two bases in Boston's 2-1 loss to the A's. He is 32 and has been successful on every steal attempt to start the year, joining Trea Turner (2023), Carl Crawford (2009) and Vince Coleman (1989) as the only players since 1961 to begin a season 30-for-30. One additional successful steal without being caught would create a new MLB mark for most steals in a season without being caught. Story is batting .265 with 24 home runs and 91 RBI in 147 games while providing speed and defensive value.
