35/60

I got more like 31/55. But still very solid. I think he will slow down some the second half.

FWIW right now he's on pace to finish at 42 HR and 55 SB.  There may be a drop off in power, we'll see.  But every time I think he will start regressing he hits another bomb.  Either way, he's ahead of the pace in both right now.

I created this poll a couple of weeks ago and he's still on pace to do it.

If healthy, the 40 steals is a foregone conclusion. The homer mark is a steeper hill to climb

In theory you expect a drop off in power. With that said pitchers keep making adjustments and he’s not exactly slowing down. With his launch angle too I think it’ll be a matter of fatigue if he hits under 35 or so.

Pitchers are making adjustments as we’ve seen more off speed stuff way off the plate and he made adjustments by laying off those pitches.

The stolen base part is much easier. When he gets on there is more than likely a SB happening. 
 

Is the power sustainable in 2025? I’m not sure.

I think this is about right.  He isn't likely going to sustain the power to approach 40 HR's, but 30+ and 50+  would be a great season.
