He has stolen 140 lifetime bases and been caught just 14 times (91 percent). One season he was 28 for 28 and another was 28 for 29. Since going 27 for 33 as a rookie, he's 113 for 121 (93.4 percent).
Just wondering if anyone has seen a higher success rate over multiple seasons.

In the Beta League, [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/beta/player.jsp?id=869]Mojo Supertone[/url] has 357 SBs, and has only been caught 27 times, for a 93% success rate. Lately we have been testing some things having to do with stolen bases and the success rate.

Yeah... the next closest guy on the All-Time list is over 80 SBs behind him. If he wasn't having such a rough year it would be closer to 100.

base-stealing don't really occur that often (enough) in SD, i reckon in real life, the SD is at least 1/3 less, a 56 SB should be closer to 80 ~ 90 SB in real life I reckon.

Only 5 major leaguers stole as many as 40 bases last year, and no one topped 50. The 50s, when this game is set, was not a stealing era either. Until Maury Wills came along, a season of 50-plus hadn't been seen in a couple decades, I believe. baseball-reference.com is down as I write this, otherwise I'd check more carefully.

Jason, you are right. I looked this up before, and that is what I found.

So stealing actually plays a bigger role here than in the actual 50s.

In 1950, Dom DiMaggio led the AL with 15 steals. 15! And only one player stole more than 17 in the NL that year.So stealing actually plays a bigger role here than in the actual 50s.
