The Guardians’ win over the Marlins yesterday may have been the classic José Ramírez game.
He finished the game 3-for-4 with three runs scored and two steals — the kind of stat-stuffing performance that’s emblematic of all the different ways that he can impact a baseball game.
And, with that steal, Ramírez now has recorded 35 steals on the year, which has put him in a tie for the most in baseball with New York’s Jose Caballero.
Ramírez may not have a reputation as a pure speedster (in part because he does so many other things well), but there’s no one else in baseball who has swiped more bases than him this year.
