Heliot Ramos wants to steal 15 bases in 2025. A reasonable goal for Ramos, who stole 6 in 121 games while struggling with plantar fasciitis that hobbled his base-path antics.
15 SBs is not a lot. It might also be more than you think. 75 players swiped 15 or more bags in 2024. MLB leaders Elly De La Cruz (67) and Shohei Ohtani (59) essentially eclipsed that mark four times last season.
A 15 stolen base total has never led the Majors — though it has led a league twice: once for the National League in 2020 with Trevor Story (doesn’t count), and once for the American League in 1950 with Dom DiMaggio (counts).
