Thanks for posting. Interesting stat showing that he is the all-time leader in stolen bases both under age 30 and age 30+ and that no one else is in the top 18 on both lists.

I heard that Rickey had the highest WAR since 1940 of any player other than A-Rod and Bonds. No steroid accusations with Rickey.

Another fun Rickey stat..... he had a slightly higher success rate at stealing 3rd base than 2nd base (it was roughly 81% vs. 80.5%). Not sure if he ever successfully tried stealing home?

Rickey's very last stolen base was fittingly, him beating a pick-off attempt at 44 years old.

Love this quote from Maury Wills:

After Maury Wills stole 104 bases in 1962, he said, “I don’t see how I can ever come close again. The physical beating I took is more than I want to endure.” Rickey reached 100 three times in four years.

I wonder if that's generally true? Logically, one could posit that the much better lead/jump one can get off second base offsets the shorter throwing distance. But i don't know.

It's generally easier to steal 3rd.

Fun fact: the year Rickey stole 130 bases, he had just 7 steals in Sept/Oct.

Lost art? 24 players with 30 or more steals this season.

2024 MLB season
In 2024, MLB players stole 3,617 bases, the highest total in 109 years. This was due to new rules that made base stealing easier, such as limiting pickoff attempts and increasing the size of bases.

Improved success rate
Since the 1980s, MLB teams have had a stolen base success rate of at least 70% for 15 consecutive seasons.

Still a strategic play
Stealing a base is a strategic play that requires focus, speed, and confidence. While teams may not be stealing as often, they have become more efficient on the basepaths.

Players still steal bases
Some players, like Jose Altuve, are still stealing bases at a high level.
