Xavier Edwards, the Miami Marlins' shortstop, aspires to steal over 60 bases in his first full MLB season. Historically, only three players in Marlins history have achieved this feat, with Juan Pierre holding the record at 65. Edwards performed exceptionally last season, stealing 31 bases in just 70 games, which translates to a potential 71 over a full season. His speed, ranking in the 78th percentile for MLB sprint speed, enhances his base-stealing capabilities. He is determined to prove his abilities this season.
A lot of stolen bases... Sixty-plus, Edwards said.
Edwards stole 31 bases on 35 attempts in just 70 games last season, a rate that would put him at about 71 over a full 162-game season.
I feel like you always think you can do it, but you don't really know until you actually go out and do it, so that was a big thing for me.
Edwards ranked in the 78th percentile in MLB for sprint speed last season, indicating his speed contributes to his base stealing.
