re: Stealing... How effective?

Its hard to get an exact value, but this article below references 70% success rate for it to be effective, and that number seems similar to one i've heard before. Now, this is based on historical MLB data. I doubt this data exists for the college game. But with more offense and more wild pitches, walks, lack of good defense,etc. I'd imagine you need to be closer to 75 or 80% for it to be worth it.
