Just for kicks I looked it up, team with the most times a player had at least 30/30 :

Mets: 8
Francisco Lindor, 2025 (31 HR, 31 SB)
Juan Soto, 2025 (43 HR, 38 SB)
Francisco Lindor, 2023 (31 HR, 31 SB)
David Wright, 2007 (30 HR, 34 SB)
Howard Johnson, 1991 (38 HR, 30 SB)
Howard Johnson, 1989 (36 HR, 41 SB)
Howard Johnson, 1987 (36 HR, 32 SB)
Darryl Strawberry, 1987 (39 HR, 36 SB)

Team besides the Cardinals w/Zero:

Rays
Padres
Tigers
Twins
White Sox


BUT

St. Louis has had a 30/30 or better player!

Ken Williams, 1922 St. Louis Browns (39 HR, 37 SB)

Heckuva player: 14 yrs career .319 .393 .530 .924!

Totally missed that Soto had a 30/30 year last season (and led the NL in steals). Never had more than 12 in a season prior. Wonder what drove that shift in strategy?

Not sure, maybe he wanted to impress his new teammates, Manager and Mets fans?
