You want fast? The 2023 baseball season started fast. The very first batter of Opening Day, Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., laced a single to right field and quickly drew two pickoff throws from Washington Nationals starter Patrick Corbin.
— makes you wonder. What would a new need for speed look like?
Last season, only the Miami Marlins’ Jon Berti reached the 40-steal threshold, the first full season since 1962 without at least two players clearing that bar. Adding to the chances of that chase would be a win. There are more possibilities, though, depending on how a hypothetical uptick in stolen bases distributes itself. MLB hasn’t seen a 70-steal campaign since Jacoby Ellsbury in 2009. No one has stolen 80 bases in a season since 1988, when Vince Coleman and all-time steals king Rickey Henderson did it.
