Josh Naylor Defies Expectations with High Stolen Base Total for Mariners

Seattle Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor has surprisingly accumulated 22 stolen bases in 24 attempts this season, including 11 steals in just 15 games since joining Seattle. Despite ranking in the bottom 3% for sprint speed, Naylor has proven to be a smart and opportunistic threat on the bases. While his strong bat remains his primary asset, his unexpected stolen base production is significantly contributing to the Mariners' success.
