The Philadelphia Phillies are the best team in Major League Baseball in terms of stolen base percentage this season. They have been caught stealing just three times, and their 91.9 percent success rate leads the second-place Cleveland Indians by a considerable margin.
Yet, the Phillies are tied for fifth in the major leagues in stolen bases with 34. Second baseman Jean Segura leads the team with five, and the injury-plagued Bryce Harper has just four. The San Diego Padres, who hold the second-best record in the National League, lead the way with 59 steals in 74 attempts.
