Ty Cobb
A stolen base most often occurs when a base runner advances to the next base while the pitcher is pitching the ball to home plate. Successful base stealers are not only fast but have good baserunning instincts and timing.
Whit Merrifield
The last American League player to steal second, then third, then home plate during the same inning was Mallex Smith of the Seattle Mariners on May 27, 2019. The career record for these larcenous occurrences are four in the American League by Ty Cobb, and four in the National League by Honus Wagner.
Jackie Robinson

Mays did all of those just about better than anyone in the history of the game. Power – 660 career home runs, sixth best in history. He led the league four times with a high of 52.
