The Dodgers have not taken advantage of MLB’s new rules, ranking rank near the bottom in steals and steal attempts while giving up the most stolen bases
PITTSBURGH — The exchange rate has been unfavorable for the Dodgers.have encouraged teams to run more often and more successfully than they have in years. The Dodgers have done their part to pump up those numbers. They allowed a major-league high 35 stolen bases in 40 attempts through their first 25 games.
The Dodgers were led in stolen bases last year by two players who are now elsewhere – Trea Turner and Cody Bellinger . Only one other player since 2015 has stolen more than 15 bases in a season with the Dodgers – Chris Taylor stole 17 in 2017. Mookie Betts averaged 24 steals over five full seasons with the Red Sox but has topped out at 12 with the Dodgers.
“I’d like to have more stolen bases. I haven’t dug into it. But I would like to have it be more,” he said. “It’s essentially giving guys 90 feet and you saw front- and back-end stolen bases against us and then a flare and you score two runs. It’s hard to get 90 feet, but when you’re giving it away, they’re going to take it. We just have to be better. Can’t keep everybody off base, but when they do , it can’t be a free 90 feet.”
