Here's a team with twice as many SB's as any other team in the league and a success rate of .831 ...

https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/team/1583451

Used the exact settings I suggested above (my catchers aren't set to steal of course). I have no clue how Lavalierre has 3 SB's in 3 attempts, must be failed H & R's.

3-6 34 steals 11 caught....don't think the 3-6 record has as much to do with the steals as pitching

Been waiting a long time for a team setting for steals separated by 2nd,3rd, and home.
Example:
You can set aggressive for 2nd so all the fast guys try
Normal for 3rd so the middling guys don't get thrown out at an 80% clip, but the fast guys might try.

Never for home.

I build A LOT of base stealing/speed teams and I almost always set the team to conservative and the individual players to Steal More. I routinely will lead the league in stolen bases AND be in the top 1-3 in stolen base % and always well over 70% success rate, often times near 80% success rate.


Respectfully disagree.

Always build terms that steal a lot, and always set to aggressive.

Works well - routinely have over 200 SBs with around 75% success.

Interested to hear the final analysis on this (setting team to aggressive versus individual to steal more). About to start a season tonight with a base stealing heavy team. I also loaded up on starting pitching in Astrodome '78. This could be a colossal failure with numerous 2-1 losses.

I tend to want to be aggressive in every way in small ball parks because so what those runners are being left anyway. And I dont have a good feel as to how Hal handles holding on runners (whick knocks one off of the defensive rating). If I go conservative base stealing does that affect whether HAL holds on to runners? I had a recent Barnstormers team that I had set to really conservative runnning--it was a power team in a 11 11 power park-- and i tweaked it to be more aggressived and that team got going. Anecdotal, sure, and of course you never know why a team starts winning but got me wondering a bit.

I often lead the league in both steals and success rate with the settings suggested.
