What were the volumes like? That percentage is great but might they have been too conservative in going?

Dunno, but whenever I see charts ranking anything or anyone by %, it's often the case that the leading contender makes the minimum G, PA, AB, IP etc by a hair.

Mets were 13th in MLB. 118 steals, 15 caught!

Re: Did you know?

the mets had the fewest caught stealings in the majors this year, at 15.



the giants, who were caught 16 times, had only 57 stolen bases, less than half the mets' 118 steals.



not bad, mets!

If they figure out how to convert that skill into runs, it could be deadly.

I guess the answer would be "hit better"

Broadly, yes.



But more specifically, hitting better at situational level.



I guess stealing more situationally is part of the equation, too.

Yeah, I'm betting that 88.72% of those steals were stranded on second.
