When MLB announced some of the new rules it was implementing, the fantasy baseball world knew it was about to see a huge boost in stolen bases.
world knew it was about to see a huge boost in stolen bases.
Through an average of just seven games played per team in 2023, there have been 128 stolen bases. Extrapolate that total over a 162-game season, and MLB is on-pace for almost 3,000 steals, a number that hasn’t been seen since 2012. If you need to add speed to your roster, the best place to start is with the teams that are the most aggressive on the bases. Right now, the Orioles, Yankees, Guardians, Diamondbacks and Pirates sit atop the leaderboard for most steals and attempts per game. When you look at your waiver wire, these teams should take priority.
But while everyone begins fighting over the top names, you can gain a subtle edge just by looking deeper into the roster. In Arizona, Kyle Lewis and Alek Thomas may be battling for playing time in the outfield, but both have a speed element to their games that will continue to take shape as one earns more time over the other.
