MLB Teams Approach Record Stolen Bases

Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, and Washington Nationals are on pace to break the century-old record for stolen bases in a season, benefiting from rule changes enhancing the running game. With Elly De La Cruz leading, these teams are exceeding expectations, with projections well over 200 stolen bases each. Major League Baseball's recent rule adjustments, including larger bases and limitations on pitchers' moves, have significantly boosted stolen base numbers, reaching record levels and high success rates.
