Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II launched his 20th home run of the year on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates to record his first-ever 20-20 season.

Harris' 20th home run - a career high - came in the bottom of the sixth inning off Pirates relief pitcher Mike Burrows to even it all up with his 20 stolen bases.

The 24-year-old has recorded exactly 20 stolen bases in three of his four years in the majors. He needs just one more before the season ends to set a new career high. 

Harris' current .247/.267/.407 slashline is the worst so far in his career. However, the Braves' outfielder has been a human highlight reel with the glove this season.

The former third-round pick is about to wrap up the third season of his eight-year, $72 million contract after the Braves finish out the last two games of their season. 

They will miss the postseason for the first time since 2017.
