Obviously someone who is 1 for 1 in stolen base attempts won't steal at a 100% clip. is there a minimum amount of attempts to determine steal percentage?
Thanks

I think anything below 15 attempts has a penalty applied to it, but I could definitly be wrong. Theres a couple of guys that are 16/16? that work pretty well.

I don't know why, but I always thought 5 was the magic number. I used to use Jose Morgan (8 for 8 in SBs RL) a lot as a scrub, and I had seasons where he stole over 20 bases (all pinch-running) and only got caught once or twice.

I'm pretty sure it's related to how many times the player got on base in real life. For example, Jose Morban with 8 SB is going to steal a lot because he only got on base about 13 times that season. Whereas a player with 8 SB who got on base 200 times won't have many SBA in the sim.

Gary Thurman is the best PR in my opinion. 16/16 for 460K. I use him live all the time

I think the magic number is determined in SB/100SBA, not pure SB/SBA... hence Morban is still useful at 8/8.

I think you mean SBA/100SBO. If so, I agree.
