A relative surprise since he is known to be fast, but Trout is one of those rare players who does everything the right way. That said, he hasn't stolen goals in three seasons...

Like many of his colleagues, the weight of years is taking its toll, and McCutchen has moved on from stealing bases in recent seasons.

And like many others, Segura is no longer the thief he once was. Is the art disappearing?

By the way, all of these players are a far cry from the all-time leader, Rickey Henderson, who has 1406!
