The Tacoma Rainiers evidently can't stop running in 2024.
Congratulations are in order for the Tacoma Rainiers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Seattle Mariners.
The Rainiers just broke their all-time Tacoma franchise record for stolen bases in a season. Jake Slaughter stole second for No. 230, passing the 1982 Tacoma Tigers who had 229. The PCL record is 281 . It's undeniable that rule changes in baseball have helped lead to the proliferation of stolen bases. The pitch clock, bigger bases and rules about pitcher disengagements have all made stealing bags easier. Six different members of the Rainiers have double-digit stolen bases this year, including outfielder Cade Marlowe, who leads the way with 43.
