It should surprise no one that the Cincinnati Reds’ centerfielder, Billy Hamilton, is the second fastest average stealer of second base in all of baseball. Only Terrance Gore of the Kansas City Royals averaged less time when stealing second base. This is the second season in a row that Hamilton was the second fastest base stealer in MLB.
The Reds have another player in the top 40 in utility man Jose Peraza. In 16 attempts Peraza averaged .01 seconds better in stealing second than Boston Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts. That is good company to be in.
