Harrison Bader Swipes Two More Bags Friday
3 years agoOn Friday, St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader went 2-for-3 with a run scored and two steals in the Cardinals' 4-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Despite his low position in the St. Louis batting order, Bader now has 13 steals on the season. Coming into 2022, Bader's previous career-high in steals was 15 in 2018. With 13 steals, Bader is now tied for the MLB lead with Seattle Mariners' rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez. On the season, Bader is slashing a somewhat mediocre .255/.306/.372 line with four homers and 15 RBI. With just nine walks on the season, if Bader can increase his on-base percentage, he could add to those steal totals (assuming he continues to run wild on the basepaths) making him a must-start in all formats. As it stands right now, given his stolen base totals, he should be rostered in all formats.
