Read: Reyes On The Bases
Eric Simon of Amazin’ Avenue delves deep for a brilliant analysis of Jose Reyes‘ season on the basepaths.
Perhaps most surprisingly, factoring in pickoffs (12) and number of times caught stealing (21), Reyes finished tenth in efficiency (70%) among the top ten base stealers in the majors this season — and by quite a significant margin.
By comparison, David Wright had a 79.1% efficiency or SB-PO rate.
…sb gain…eqSBR…huh…i think something is leaking out of my brain…anyhow, i think what we learn here is something that everybody was saying as he declined in late August and especially September…yep, Reyes is fast, real fast, but he may need to tone down the aggressiveness just a tad…
…great job, eric…and thanks to jneuman for the link…
