The majority of his steals have been on 1st or 2nd pitch and there have been little pickoff attempts much less exhausting all attempts

when pitchers have a limit on 3 breaking balls per ab and on the 4th they either hit it, strike out or get awarded a walk. Because that is what this is the equivalent of.

So why is Acuña’s 70 still the anomaly if the rules make it easy?

Bob Gibson’s strikeout numbers should have an asterisk since the mound was higher for the first part of his career, right?


Hate to break it to you, but baseball has changed over the years.

The data has already been posted ITT and the number of steals increased this year is noticeable. This doesn’t mean acuna wouldn’t still have swiped a ton of bags this year, he would have, but it would’ve been around 40/50 not 70.

Idk how you argue that making the bases bigger, limiting pick off attempts and enforcing a pitch clock (all in one season) are not some of the biggest rule changes the sport has seen in modern history
