Why he matters right now
Nasim Nuñez leads the majors in stolen bases
Through 147 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 83 straight days.
The case in 30 seconds
- 49 No. 1 in stolen bases on MLB's own leaderboards — 49 stolen bases MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
- .209 .535 OPS, 1 home run, 37 RBI and 49 stolen bases over 147 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 — 493 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.
