Running Well

Basestealers are having a very good year so far. They have the 2nd best SB% since 1974.

Season Games SB Attempts SBPct SB/G
1996 2267 3240 4583 70.696 1.429
2005 125 141 200 70.500 1.128
2004 2428 2589 3695 70.068 1.066
1987 2105 3585 5114 70.102 1.703
1995 2017 2932 4189 69.993 1.454

The last two season runners are stealing less but stealing better. Sabermetrics makes another inroad.

Who will be the AL's steals leader?
It should be an interesting race between Podsednik and Crawford. Maybe this will be a year someone gets close to 100 again.
