Mets' Nimmo base-stealing philosophy has a wrinkle this season
Briefly

Maybe his position change means there is more room to run... Nimmo will have more opportunities to steal, and a greater degree of comfort in trying to do so.
Nimmo... stole one base... and would have had a second if not for an umpire interference call. But then he tweaked his right hamstring, which underscored his fear: He could get hurt trying to swipe a bag.
If we feel like we can get a little more out of it and not be a detriment to the team or to myself, then we'll do that. But it's going to be a feel thing as we go throughout the season.
When you look at Nimmo in terms of athlete and the sprint speeds, you definitely feel like there is some room there to steal a couple more bags.
