Yelich, 32, is poised to join some elite company this season, his seventh with the Brewers. Because of a resurgent 2023, he is within striking distance of becoming one of few active players with 200 homers and 200 stolen bases.
Mike Trout, Andrew McCutchen, José Ramírez and Jose Altuve are the only active 200-200 Major Leaguers, although Mookie Betts could get there with 28 stolen bases this season.
“Any time you get to round numbers in this game, it’s cool,” Yelich said. "You have to stick around for a little while to hit some of those. They are cool, no doubt, but definitely not a main focus of mine. It’s a hard and challenging game, and you try to prepare the best you can every night and go out there and see what happens.”
