Episode Details

Baseball’s stolen base boom is hitting full stride, fueled by rule tweaks and a renewed emphasis on speed—especially as teams scramble to find players who can do more than just run. For the Detroit Tigers, rookie Peyton Graham is turning heads with a blistering 44 stolen bases in just 63 games at Double-A Erie, leading the entire Eastern League. Drafted in the second round in 2022, Graham’s speed has always been his calling card—he swiped 20 bases in 100 games last year—and now, healthy and hitting over .290 with a career-best OPS, he’s on pace for personal bests. While he’s not quite ready for the majors yet, this breakout season is a major leap forward for a player who’s battled injuries and now shows he’s ready to dominate.
