2 years of training on how to get jumps etc. You can also hire speed trainers and trainers to help you get into shape and lose weight.

Same rules, past balls and errors etc don’t count.

You will get on base off of this calculation: Take the person in the MLB who leads the league in getting on base and you will get on base one more time than him.

You won’t have any injuries.

You will be your accurate age though at the end of the two years.

You can steal every time you’re on and you don’t need to worry about the risk of being benched. However they might catch on to you stealing every time and will act accordingly.

First one of these where I think I have a chance. I won’t get benched or get the drop sign if I get thrown out so I’ll get lots of chances. The new rolls are extremely favorable to base stealers.

Some of these catchers are really bad at throwing out runners and the throws aren’t close.

These guys will get benched or killed in the media if they run all the time and get thrown out. You’re giving me a Judge OBP (.465) which gives me well over 300 attempts. I only need to be successful less than 10% of the time.

Also, given that I don’t have to be strong enough to hit baseballs, two years of training solely to run and steal bases will be a big help and I won’t be as slow as you think.

How is it 300 attempts? They’ll pick you off or pitch out every time. You need to be strategic. I don’t think you realize how good mlb catchers are if they don’t have to worry.

They can only throw over twice before it’s an auto balk. I’ll have spent the past two years practicing every day how to get the max lead and studying every pitchers’ pickoff moves and making sure I can get back most of the time.

They can pitch out often but given that my OBP is so high, I’ll likely have a slugger behind me and they aren’t going to want to get behind in the count. I can also wait a pitch or two to go if the pitch outs get predictable.

for reference, Ronald Acuna led the league in OBP last year at .416. he had 735 plate appearances. So you would be on base 307 times

this is pretty doable. there's plenty of garbage time AB. the fear would be getting beaned for stealing too much in garbage time, but i guess if you can't get injured go for it

OBP isn’t the metric. The actual number is the amount of times you are standing on first base. A lot of the hits that comprise that high of an OBP are extra base hits. It is really hard to steal third.

These real stats that ppl keep poasting come from players who (1) are on base less than you’re giving me in the hypo; and, more importantly (2) are only allowed to TRY to steal when there’s a positive EV for the team to doing so — I am literally trying to max out my SB stat, CSs be damned. I could have by far the worst SB success rate in the league and still satisfy this hypo, and by the way, I could optimize my physique for base-stealing, which real players (the kind who want to get on base, let alone hit for power) can’t do. Even a 40-y/o big lawyer could make himself as fast as the 20th (meaning bottom 20%) MLBer.

“Even a 40-y/o big lawyer could make himself as fast as the 20th (meaning bottom 20%) MLBer.“

this is an understatement. you’d be training EXCLUSIVELY for explosive speed. i don’t know if that alone would be enough to match the innate talent of a elly de la cruz or bobby witt jr., but it should get you in the top 10% at least.

Yes, it's a deliberate understatement, because these threads bring from the woodwork a bizarre cadre of presumably obese/azn lifelong non-athletes who insist, e.g., that if you got a guaranteed 530 MLB ABs across a season after having a year to train, you would have 0 HRs and a <.030 batting average.

When you point out that NL pitchers provide an instructive starting point, and that in all likelihood you'd be BY FAR the worst player in MLB, and would never in a million years have a roster spot (let alone 500 ABs) but for the OP's hypo God Mode, but would, accepting the hypo, still probably hit above .100 and have a handful of HRs (if that's what you were shooting for), you will *literally* have people fighting with you that noted onetime HR-hitter Bartolo Colon -- a morbidly obese man who twists his entire body when he swings, closing his eyes and often causing his batting helmet to pop upwards off his head in a comic spectacle, rousing uproarious laughter from players and fans alike -- is actually an ELITE HITTER whom you could not possibly hope to emulate at the plate.

If you try to steal every time won’t they know and just pitch out? Also do the bottom 20% speed MLBers even try to steal?

(1) Yes, which is why I said I'd be optimizing SBs, not necessarily stealing every time. It goes w/o saying that as attempts go up, success rate goes down, for multiple reasons, including (as you've identified) that the battery starts to really prepare for your steal attempt. Although bear in mind, there are plenty of times when they won't gaf about the base and will let you take it, under circumstances that the official scorer will still call an SB.

(2) Bro, mighty MO VAUGHN, who was fat af by Golden Corral standards, had an 11-SB season in '95; he got 2-4 during most of the rest of his career. I have to imagine a lot of those were semi-uncontested -- given that I could roll a fucking shopping cart to second base faster than Mo could run there -- but this just reinforces my point.

In 2022, Trea Turner led the league in stolen bases with …. 32.

Since they increased the bags and put on the pitch clock and checked the number of pick off attempts, Acuña Jr managed 72.

90 percent of professional players who have been training for decades cannot accomplish this.

This may be the dumbest baseball hypo on this bort, which is saying something. Stealing a base is as much art as athleticism. Anyone saying yes is delusional.

the issue is that most players aren't good at getting on base and most players that are good at getting on base can't steal bases. that's why everyone's jizzing their pants about the 40/40 club.

here, you are being gifted the league lead in OBP, which is a huge boost.

I would think after the third time in a row you tried to steal they would just do a pitch out and fire a strike down to second for the easy out.

Maybe I’ll go on the second pitch or third pitch sometimes. Since you gave me the highest OBP in baseball, any manager will have a slugger batting behind me. It’ll cause pressure on them to give the slugger 1-0 and 2-0 counts often.

You’ve told me I can never be benched. I only need to be successful less than 10% of the time to win.

Good hypo. Do I go to first each time? Is anyone on base in front of me? It'll be tougher if I start on third and have to steal home.

In all seriousness, I could definitely do this.

I feel like everyone itt is delusional and this is waaay harder than it looks

I doubt they steal 3 without getting leveled on the tag by 2B or whoever covers, hit my multiple dead on ball accurate fastballs by the catcher at base, I used to play and my sprint speed is fast and I’m wide so def luck into some fake out tags but this is absurdly hard at pro level

You’re just banking on them fucking up out of the infinite attempts basically
