In 1987, he enjoyed a breakout offensive season, batting .263 with 24 home runs, 87 RBIs, and 32 stolen bases.

His combination of power, speed, and defense established him as one of the American League's most exciting young outfielders.

He captured another Gold Glove in 1989, further strengthening his reputation as one of baseball's premier center fielders.
