Zach Neto has made Angels franchise history. The shortstop has recorded three straight 20-20 seasons — at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in each of three consecutive years — a combination of power and speed no player in Los Angeles Angels history has ever strung together over that span. The milestone was confirmed Thursday, September 3, 2026, during the 2026 regular season.
Zach Neto Reaches 20-20 for Third Consecutive Season
Three straight 20-20 seasons is a rare achievement at any position in baseball. At shortstop, for a franchise that dates back to 1961, the fact that no Angel had done it before underscores how consistently Neto has performed on both sides of the ball over the last three years.
To hit the 20-20 mark once requires a blend of raw power and elite baserunning instincts. To do it three years in a row demands durability, plate discipline, and the kind of sustained productivity that separates good players from historically significant ones within an organization.
What This Means for the Angels
Neto's place in the Angels record book is now secured at the shortstop position. In a 2026 regular season still in progress, he has delivered one of the most concrete individual milestones the franchise has seen at that spot on the diamond.
- Three consecutive 20-20 seasons — a franchise first for an Angels shortstop
- Milestone confirmed during the 2026 regular season
- Neto continues to anchor the Angels at shortstop through September
With the regular season still playing out, Neto has time to push those numbers further before the final bell rings on 2026.
