We’ve known for some time that the Colorado Rockies have not been a good base-stealing team — they are 29th in stolen bases with 50. (Only the San Francisco Giants have fewer with 47.) But how is their base running overall?
For this, I turned to FanGraphs’ base-running statistic, BsR. Here’s how FanGraphs defines this statistic:
Base Running (BsR) is FanGraphs’ all encompassing base running statistic that turns stolen bases, caught stealings, and other base running plays (taking extra bases, being thrown out on the bases, etc) into runs above and below average.
