You might have heard, the stolen base is making a comeback in MLB this year. New bases. New pickoff rules. And the runners were ready on Opening Day.
A whopping 21 bags were swiped on Thursday — it took three days to get to that number at the beginning of 2022 — and only two would-be thieves were caught. Sorry about that,If the stolen base upswell is real and spectacular, it means we'll have to pay closer attention to that category and attack it more proactively with waiver wire pickups and trades.
Bae posted a respectable profile at Triple-A last year, a .289/.362/.420 slash with eight homers and 30 steals over 108 games. And he looked the part in a 10-game sample with the Pirates — .333/.405/.424, with three steals and a glittering 90 percent sprint speedI’ve already grabbed one Bae share in a deeper head-to-head format, so my FOMO box is checked. Who’s with me?
Donovan came through with a homer, three hits, two runs scored over six trips. The power might come as a surprise given that he hit only five taters in 126 games last year, but he did crack four homers in Spring Training, if that matters to you. I know, it’s a bunch of practice games and sometimes the opposing pitcher is nowhere near MLB quality. It still makes me curious about what’s possible here.
