Why he matters right now
Nasim Nuñez leads the majors in stolen bases
Through 132 games he is first in stolen bases. It is a real league lead in a category that depends on opportunity as much as on the hitter, so the rate statistics below are the better read on how he has hit.
This has been his headline for 28 straight days.
The case in 30 seconds
- 45 No. 1 in stolen bases on MLB's own leaderboards — 45 stolen bases MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
- .213 .540 OPS, 1 home run, 35 RBI and 45 stolen bases over 132 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
It is still a partial season — 460 plate appearances so far. A rate moves fastest against the strongest arms a schedule has left, and the schedule ahead is not the schedule behind.
