A subplot to this MLB season you should be following: Elly De La Cruz is stealing a historic amount of bases.
After swiping one yesterday, EDLC is up to 31 on the season in 50 games.
- Those 31 are more than 15 teams
- The next best players have 18
- He already has five two-steal games, two three-steal games, and a four-steal game
His secrets: Baseball IQ, and being able to run 31.2 feet per second.
He's also on pace for just over 100 steals.
- The last 100-steal season was Vince Coleman's 109 in 1987.
