Some observations

[gatkeri]

I've had a bunch of runners picked off of 3rd base recently-hardly ever happened before. Anyone else notice this more often? Just had a catcher , w/ c- speed, set to moderate in stealing,picked off of 3rd w/ 2 out . Maybe he just wasn't paying attention-lol. Also, thru over half a season, my pitchers are batting close to .200! And they are all D-batting or F w/ a few D. I've noticed pitchers on my other teams are hitting better,also. Maybe just an aberration.

Probably just an aberration. That being said, I never pay attention to in-game results and focus more on the overall performance as a team. If I notice that as a team I'm averaging lower than a 75% success rate in base stealing, I'll make adjustments to ensure my team has a higher success rate (which usually means stealing as little as possible).

C- speed should be set to never steal. I use that setting for B speed or lower.

This is the correct answer.

If my players don't have A- or better I don't have them steal. Its not worth the risk for me to give away outs.
