If the graph they have is true, then it just confirms what I already believed, which is Byron Buxton is the fastest man in all of baseball, but he doesn't make the most of his speed on the base paths.

It is an interesting article.

I'm not sure we can be too down on Buxton. He's 2nd in FanGraphs BsR. Only Billy Hamilton is ahead of him.

And Buxton (as of today) has 25 stolen bases in 26 attempts.

Hamilton has 58 stolen bases, but has been caught stealing 10 times.
