Base stealing adds a layer of excitement to the game. Players like Rickey Henderson turned stealing bases into an art form. Do you think base stealing is underappreciated in today’s game? Who’s your favorite base stealer of all time?

Players like Rickey Henderson, the all-time leader in stolen bases, mastered the art of reading pitchers, picking the right moment, and getting a quick jump. Modern players like Trea Turner and Jazz Chisholm Jr. bring a similar blend of speed, agility, and anticipation to the game, making each stolen base an exciting play.

Base stealing may not be as emphasized in today’s game, but it’s still a weapon that can shift momentum and energize fans. I hope to see more players embrace it as part of their skill set as the game continues to evolve.
