It¡¯s almost baseball season, which means we are well into projection season. Until we get to see it all play out on the field, we can take a look at how it may go.

Sometimes certain projected stat lines really stand out, and get us thinking about how remarkable the season might be for that player. Looking at FanGraphs Steamer projections, there are players whose numbers would reach the record books.

Here¡¯s a look at 10 players who are projected to do something historic.

Bobby Witt Jr.: Third consecutive 30-30 season
Last year, Witt became the first shortstop in MLB history with multiple seasons of at least 30 homers and 30 stolen bases. This year, he¡¯s projected for 31 home runs and 36 stolen bases, which would be his third 30-30, all consecutive. Witt is just the eighth player to record at least two consecutive 30-30 seasons, joining Ryan Braun (2011-12), Alfonso Soriano (2002-03, 2005-06), Vladimir Guerrero Sr. (2001-02), Barry Bonds (1995-97), Ron Gant (1990-91), Bobby Bonds (1977-78) and Willie Mays (1956-57). The thing about that list? The only player with three straight is Barry Bonds, which means Witt would be the second to do so in baseball history. Witt is the only player in MLB history to have at least 20 home runs and 30 stolen bases in each of the first three seasons of his career, so he¡¯d be the first to do so in each of his first four, as well.

Juan Soto: Eighth straight .400 OBP, fifth season with 25+ homers and 125+ walks
Soto¡¯s projected .421 on-base percentage would lead MLB, ahead of Aaron Judge¡¯s .399. This would mark the eighth season of Soto¡¯s career, each with at least a .400 on-base percentage. The only AL/NL players to have at least a .400 OBP in each of their first eight or more seasons are Ted Williams (first 17 seasons), Frank Thomas and Wade Boggs. As it stands, Soto¡¯s streak of seven straight such seasons to start his career is tied for fourth, with Ferris Fain, who debuted in 1947, and Roy Thomas, who debuted in 1899. Soto is projected for 35 homers and 128 walks. This would be his fifth season with at least 25 homers and 125 walks. His four such seasons already are fourth most in a career, behind only Bonds (10 seasons), Babe Ruth (10) and Williams (eight). Soto¡¯s active streak of four consecutive seasons played with those totals is tied for second longest, with Bonds from 2001-04, behind Williams¡¯ six from 1941-42 and 1946-49 (military service 1943-45).

Shohei Ohtani: 43 home runs, 34 stolen bases and 141 pitching strikeouts
Ohtani was incredible last year, establishing the 50-50 club. Now, in 2025, we get the return of two-way Shotime. He¡¯s projected for 141 strikeouts on the mound and 43 homers at the plate. There¡¯s only one player in MLB history to have more than 15 home runs as a hitter and at least 100 strikeouts as a pitcher in a season: Ohtani, in 2021, ¡®22 and ¡®23. With his 34 projected stolen bases, Ohtani would join the list above of consecutive 30-30s. This would be Ohtani¡¯s fourth season with at least 40 homers and 20 stolen bases, tying Alex Rodriguez for the most such seasons in a career. His three such seasons as of now are tied for second most, with Bonds and Jose Canseco.

Paul Skenes: MLB leader in ERA and strikeouts
Skenes¡¯ stellar rookie season was just an appetizer. With a 2.80 ERA and 242 strikeouts, he¡¯s projected to lead the Majors in both categories. At 23 years and 122 days old on the final day of the season, Skenes would be the fourth-youngest to lead all qualified MLB pitchers in ERA for a season since earned runs became official in both leagues in 1913, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The only pitchers to do so at a younger age than he will be when the regular season ends are Dwight Gooden in 1985 (20 years, 324 days at season¡¯s end), Mark Fidrych in 1976 (22 years, 50 days) and Dutch Leonard in 1914 (22 years, 177 days). Add in leading MLB in strikeouts, too, and the only pitcher to lead in both in a season before turning 24 is Gooden.

Aaron Judge: 46 home runs and 170 wRC+
Judge is projected for another monster year at the plate. His 46 home runs would mark his fourth season with at least 45. Just 10 players in MLB history have at least four such seasons: Ruth (nine 45-HR seasons), Bonds (six), Rodriguez (five), Sammy Sosa (five), Ken Griffey Jr. (five), Mark McGwire (five), Harmon Killebrew (five), Ryan Howard, Mays and Lou Gehrig. Judge has reached 50 homers in each season he hit 45. If he can get there again, a fourth 50-homer season would tie Sosa, McGwire and Ruth for most. He¡¯s also projected to have a 170 wRC+ -- meaning he would be 70% better than league average, offensively. This would be Judge¡¯s fourth consecutive season with at least 35 homers and a 170 wRC+. The only players to do that in at least four straight seasons are 1926-32 Ruth (seven), 2000-04 Bonds (five) and 1920-24 Ruth (five). As it stands, Judge¡¯s three-season streak is tied for fourth longest with 2000-02 Jason Giambi and 1963-65 Mays.

Luis Arraez: Fourth consecutive batting title
In leading the NL in batting average for the Padres last season, Arraez became the first player to win a batting title in three consecutive seasons with three different teams (2023 Marlins, 2022 Twins). This year, he¡¯s projected to lead MLB with a .307 average. Just six players in MLB history have won four or more straight batting titles, per Elias. They are Ty Cobb (1907-15, nine), Rogers Hornsby (1920-25, six), Tony Gwynn (1994-97), Wade Boggs (1985-88), Rod Carew (1972-75) and Honus Wagner (1906-09).

Blake Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Roki Sasaki: 30% strikeout rates
We haven¡¯t seen Sasaki in MLB yet, but given his professional career thus far, we know there will be plenty of strikeouts. To that point, he¡¯s projected for a 31.6% strikeout rate. Snell is projected for a 31.0% strikeout rate and Glasnow at 30.7%. We know this Dodgers rotation has a chance to be fearsome, and here¡¯s another way to quantify that potential. With Sasaki, Snell and Glasnow, the Dodgers have three pitchers projected for a 30% strikeout rate or higher. No team in MLB history has had three pitchers with at least a 30% strikeout rate and 75 innings pitched each in a season.

Jos¨¦ Ram¨ªrez: Another 30-30 season
Ram¨ªrez is projected for 30 home runs and 31 stolen bases. He¡¯s already the only player in Cleveland history with multiple 30-homer, 30-SB seasons, and would now be up to three. Ram¨ªrez is one of two third basemen with multiple 30-30 seasons, and his third would tie Howard Johnson for most at the position. He also would join the list above of consecutive 30-30 seasons.
