WOW, something not to common in modern baseball....stolen bases. Remember Henderson, Brock, Lopes, Morgan...etc. guys that when they got on, the pitcher and catcher had to worry about them running...man I miss those days. Wonder if this kid will be the next phenom

I heard Harold Reynolds talking about this guy. He had good things to stay but believes that the days of 100 stolen base players is gone for good. He did say you will see more running baseball with reduced home runs but do to the development of the slide step, quick pitches, etc. you will likley not see the stolen base numbers you saw in the '70s or '80s.
