As we observe an uptick in stolen bases across the MLB, several players are making their mark. Jorge Mateo leads the league with five steals in just four games, showcasing his potential as a top asset for fantasy teams. Luis Robert Jr. has taken over the lead for the season with 215 steals, while Bobby Witt Jr. is hot on his heels with 205.

Teams like the Baltimore Orioles have shifted strategies under new management, attempting a league-high of 14 steals, indicating a growing trend in aggressive baserunning. Conversely, the Miami Marlins have tightened their defense, allowing only three steals last week, which raises questions about their catcher's future performance. As the season progresses, tracking these trends can be crucial for optimizing fantasy lineups.
