Ponce Cubs rookie outfielder Antonio Brown set a new Double-A baseball record for stolen bases in a 20-game season this past Sunday, when he stole two bases at Francisco “Paquito” Montaner Stadium in Ponce for a total of 23 stolen bases in the 2025 season.

“Brown surpassed the previous record of 21 stolen bases, held by Alexis Torres of the Carolina Giants, set last season,” the Double-A Superior Baseball League confirmed in an official statement.

The speedy 23-year-old has been one of the season’s most impressive players, batting .353 with 24 hits in 68 at-bats and only two failed steal attempts. The Cubs still have three games remaining in the regular season.

The all-time record for stolen bases in a full season was set by the late Luis “Rolo” Colón, who had 41 with the Toritos de Cayey in 1979, before the current format.

Brown was selected this year in the Rookie Draft and had already showcased his speed with the Caciques de Mayagüez in Class A baseball, where he led in stolen bases and runs scored.

This Saturday, Brown will participate in the 2025 All-Star Game at Juan José “Tití” Beníquez Stadium in San Sebastián.
