I was shocked to see that last season, the most stolen bases (Whit Merifield) only had 45.

In each of the previous years before that, at least 2 people had swiped 50. Usually 1 of them was either Dee Gordon or Billy Hamilton.

I wonder why stolen bases are down?

Analytics. Numbers show the risk just isn't worth the reward.

Because the value of a stolen base is highly overrated when compared to the cost of giving up an out when caught
