With MLB's new rules designed to enhance the run game, the San Francisco Giants are poised to finally increase their stolen base attempts. After being among the least aggressive teams in recent seasons, they are focusing on a more liberated style of play, as indicated by front office messages encouraging players to take risks on the bases. Tyler Fitzgerald, a key player, emphasizes the importance of playing aggressively without fear of getting thrown out. The team's athleticism could lead to more successful steals this season, leveraging their speedsters like Fitzgerald and Matt Chapman.
It starts from the front office and what they've been communicating the whole offseason: you have to play free and don't be afraid to get thrown out, said Tyler Fitzgerald.
Over the last two seasons, no team has stolen fewer bases than the Giants. This lack of aggression isn't a recent phenomenon.
