I have been wondering about this. The new bigger bases are supposed to improve the running game, IE, stolen bases. This has been a winter of change. The Dodger’s two best thieves of bags have left the team. Trea Turner, 27, and Cody Bellinger 14 have left via free agency. # 3 on the team last year was Freddie Freeman with 13. Mookie had 12, and Chris Taylor had 10. Those were the only players in double figures.
Gavin Lux stole seven bases. His number should improve if he is allowed to run. He has the speed; now all he needs is a green light and possibly some expert coaching on how to maximize that speed.
