There are some guys who you just know are going to take off when they reach first base. In the annals of Seattle Mariners history, this includes Ichiro Suzuki, Harold Reynolds, and....Josh Naylor?
This is not something I (or probably anyone else) expected to be writing just two weeks after the Mariners acquired Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks, but the stats are right there for everyone to see. The burly first baseman has swiped 10 bags in 12 games with the Mariners, which already ranks him fifth on the team for stolen bases.
Even more astonishing: Naylor has stolen four more bases than literally any other player in MLB since his Seattle debut on July 25.
