As the MLB witnesses a surge in stolen bases, understanding the trends is crucial for fantasy players seeking an edge. Top base stealers this week include Luis Robert Jr. and Pete Crow-Armstrong, both showcasing their speed effectively. Teams like the Miami Marlins have become prime targets for base stealers, allowing the highest number of successful steals this season. Meanwhile, pitchers such as Sandy Alcantara and Edward Cabrera struggle to prevent runners, making them favorable targets for fantasy managers.

Emerging talents such as Augustín Ramírez are also affecting base-running dynamics, as his promotion has resulted in increased attempts against him. The Cubs are capitalizing on these trends, recently stealing significant bases against strong defenses. On the other hand, teams like the Mets and Brewers have been effective in catching would-be base stealers, signaling caution for those targeting steals against them.
