What happened: Nasim Nuñez became MLB's first player this season to reach 30 stolen bases. The milestone puts him alone at the top of the league's speed leaderboard before the end of June.

Why it matters: Reaching 30 steals this early changes how opponents manage him once he gets on base. It also gives Nuñez a carrying tool that can keep his value high even when his offensive production fluctuates.

What to watch: The next marker is whether Nuñez keeps reaching base often enough to sustain the pace. Opposing batteries will likely tighten pickoff moves and pitch selection with him aboard.
