Stolen base are one of the most exciting plays in baseball. The anticipation of a speedster reaching first, the murmur of a crowd knowing they’re going to run, and the bang-bang play at second to try and catch them is intoxicating.

Sadly, they’d faded over the years until rule changes after the 2022 season brought them back in a big way.

This was another banner year for base stealers and I’m going to tell you all about who ran wild. Also, we’re going to walk through some disappointing base stealers – be it due to inefficiency or lack of desire – plus some interesting trends to watch league-wide.
