I was shooting for a more important number -- 100 runs. It means I've been getting on base. Stealing 50 bases is a great accomplishment. I'm pleased with my work ethic to get here.
base create extra game stealing stolen taking third

I hit ninth the first month, and to be in the top 10 in runs scored, that's putting in a lot of work. There was a stretch where I went 1 for 30 and I was hitting ninth. That's why stolen bases are not even important. It's getting over so guys can get you in.

Stealing 50 bases is a great accomplishment; I credit my work ethic. I thanked all of my teammates because they let me steal the bases in front of them.
