MLB:
What factors drive Naylor’s opportunistic basestealing, and can fantasy managers project similar steals from him next season?
Qwiket AI:
Naylor’s basestealing comes from pitcher-vs-catcher dynamics and his ability to time the pitcher’s move. The success lies in the pitcher’s awareness and catcher’s pop time, not raw sprint speed. If Seattle continues to deploy him as a constant threat, his next-season SB projection could land in the 15–25 range, contingent on role and health.
