The Kansas City Royals have been making waves with their recent analysis of baserunning stats, particularly focusing on Bobby Witt Jr. and his performance in 2024. While Witt's speed is undeniable, the numbers reveal a mixed bag of results that could spark some interesting debates among fans.
Witt ranked 39th in net bases gained, which is impressive, but considering his elite sprint speed, many expected more. Is it fair to say that his baserunning has not lived up to the hype? With rumors swirling that he’s working on improving his skills this offseason, what changes do you think he needs to make to elevate his game?
On the flip side, we have Dairon Blanco, who, despite limited opportunities, made a significant impact with his baserunning. His high stolen base attempt percentage and net bases gained show that sometimes less is more. Does this make you rethink how we evaluate players who come off the bench?
And then there's Garcia, who, despite criticism for his effort, proved to be a savvy baserunner when he got on base. This raises the question: is baserunning more about speed, or is it about intelligence and decision-making?
As we look ahead to the next season, what bold predictions do you have for the Royals' baserunning strategy? Will Witt step up and become the game-changer we all hope for, or will Blanco and Garcia redefine what it means to be effective on the bases?
Let’s dive into these stats and share our thoughts! What do you think the Royals need to do to maximize their baserunning potential in 2025?
