Stolen bases are on the rise in Major League Baseball, with key players showcasing their speed on the bases. This week, CJ Abrams led the league with seven stolen base attempts, while the Mariners led all teams with 13 steals. Notably, the Minnesota Twins have become a target for base stealers, allowing 13 in just six games. Meanwhile, the New York Mets continue their impressive streak of successful steals, boasting a success rate nearing 90%.

Among individual performances, Oneil Cruz has reclaimed his lead in the season's stolen base race and is on track for a potential 30-30 season. On the other hand, several expected contributors like Jonathan India and Tommy Edman have struggled with efficiency. The efficiency of players, especially catchers like Christian Vázquez of the Twins, is under scrutiny as teams look to exploit weaknesses.
