Why he matters right now
José Caballero is top-10 in the majors in stolen bases
He is 8th in stolen bases at 34 — placements on MLB's own season boards, which rank every QUALIFIED hitter in the sport rather than the few dozen this site tracks. Qualified is MLB's own bar, and it is the reason a part-season player with a big number is not on these boards at all.
This has been his headline for 74 straight days.
The case in 30 seconds
- 34 8th in stolen bases at 34 on MLB's season leaderboards MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
- .231 .655 OPS, 14 home runs, 51 RBI and 34 stolen bases over 136 games snapshot batting board — the union of MLB's top-10 hitting boards, then MLB's 3.1 PA per team game rule applied; not the league's full qualified pool
The honest caveat
A top-ten finish is a position on a board, not a verdict on a player. The men just below him on it are not meaningfully worse, and one good week moves several places.
