These Five Players Are the Slowest to Steal a Base in the Statcast Era
During the 2025 season, I put together a list of the “Five Slowest Active Base Runners to Steal a Base”. We’re deep into the offseason now, which means it’s the perfect time for another addition to the slow baserunner collection!
This time, the list will be extended to all players in the Statcast Era. Nothing beats reminiscing about which players clogged up the basepath for your favorite team. As I said in the first edition, it’s always fun to discuss unique baseball tidbits.

Five Slowest Active Base Runners to Steal a Base
After Rowdy Tellez stole second during the Mariners game on Tuesday, fans took to the internet to discuss the oddity. After all, how often do runners as slow as Tellez steal bases? Very rarely, that’s for sure.
When I saw the attention on Tellez, I was inspired to put together this list. I used the most recent stolen base of each player's career for simplicity, although there weren’t that many to browse through given their speed, or lack thereof.
