The Boston Red Sox have come out of the gate running this season.
The potent Red Sox lineups of recent years have typically relied on power over speed, but in the early going this season we are seeing a more aggressive approach on the base paths.
Boston currently leads the majors with 20 stolen bases this year. They aren’t piling up steals with reckless abandon either, as they have also been the most efficient, having been caught stealing only twice for a success rate of 90.91 percent. Only a handful of teams have a success rate of at least 80 percent and every team outside of Boston is under 83 percent.
