White Sox 2005 Rewind: Mark Buehrle one of baseball's all-time pickoff artists

Two pitchers ever have reached triple digits in pickoffs.

OK, maybe that’s not entirely true. The pickoff is not the best kept stat in baseball history and technically isn’t even an official statistic (it’s called "pitchers’ caught stealing" instead).

But if you’re going by the fine folks over at Baseball-Reference.com, they say only two pitchers ever have hit triple digits in their careers. And one of them is Mark Buehrle.

Buehrle was credited with a nice, round 100 pickoffs during his 16-year major league career. Five of them came during the 2005 season, and he got No.
