Washington Nationals news & notes: Davey Martinez on Victor Robles running; Josh Bell power numbers + more...

Among several areas of his game which Victor Robles struggled with in ‘21 was his running game. Robles got thrown out in 6 of 14 stolen base attempts while he was in the majors, so it’s probably not too surprising he hasn’t been running much at all this year.

In 2019, the then-22-year-old outfielder stole 28 in 37 attempts, but as he’s had issues with the bat in his hands over the last few seasons, he’s slowed down the running game, with a total of 13 stolen bases in 20 attempts between 2020-22.

Robles made his first attempt, and stole his first base this season in the series opener with the Marlins in Miami on Monday.
