Who's Protected?
Here are the GBL's base-stealing defensive numbers, a sometimes overlooked category that actually isn't kept track of by minor league baseball's main statistics bureau (the percentage reflects the measure of runners thrown out):
1. Long Beach, 29% (32 of 111 runners caught)
2. St. George, 28% (25 of 89)
3. Outlaws, 23% (20 of 88)
4. Orange County, 22% (23 of 103)
5. Yuma, 21% (17 of 80)
6. Calgary, 19% (16 of 85)
7. Edmonton, 17% (16 of 97)
8. Reno, 14% (17 of 127)
