 Hello and welcome to stats that exist but do not matter episode number 23 today I wanted to look at stolen bases in the 2020 season Specifically, I wanted to see how many guys stole at least one base But did not get thrown out zero caught steelings at least one stolen base. You know how many guys did that? 158 that's a lot of guys It's eight more than a hundred and fifty that is math that I know For certain is correct 91 of those guys only did it once they stole one base They didn't get caught. They said enough's enough. I got to stop being so risky. I'm playing it safe from here on out The other guys kept going and some guys stole a lot a good amount for a shortened season and a nod In a non-speed game anymore, and they did pretty well the top 10 list number 10 Cody Bellinger you guys know him. He's actually tied for fourth math with Kevin Bizio Gerard Dyson Monte Harrison Tommy Fam Mike Tachman Xander Bogarts Victor Reyes and Leody Tavares but number one Ahead of the rest pretty solidly was Roman Quinn the bunting running Phenom of Philadelphia 12 bags 12 times he stole zero times did he get caught stealing phenomenal shopping Lifting record is a great thief is the best thief in MLB That's never been caught quote board Roman Quinn is the best thief in MLB. That's never been caught 12 stolen bases zero caught stealing So then I was like well, maybe this continues into the 2019 season. So I went down there. I checked it out eight stolen bases Zero caught stealing that's 20 total stolen bases in a row without being caught. So I went to 2018 I was like he got caught stealing in 2018 But maybe there's like the last 10 stolen bases and we could add it to the list No, he got caught stealing late in the season Kurt Suzuki didn't nab him at second And then Roman tried to steal third and Suzuki said enough's enough you're gone and he pegged him So the streak starts in 2019. He's currently at 20 bags without being thrown out The all-time leader is Vince Coleman He grabbed 50 bags in a row without being caught. That is the record Multiple seasons. I think it's 89 to 90 or 88 to 80. It is it is 1988 to 89 Vince Coleman 50 bags Zero caught stealing. So Romans got a lot of work to do only four catchers have ever thrown Roman Quinn out Sandy Leone Blake Swyhardt Wilson Ramos and like I said Kurt Suzuki and then he did get picked off once in his rookie season in 2016 So 35 bags five caught stealings one was a pickoff catchers beware Romans gunning. He's smart. He's fast and he's the best thief in baseball. That's never been caught quote I Said that
