I'll try out an answer for you.

In the team strategy page for each team, there is a slider for base-running. This modifies a team's tendency to be aggressive or conservative on the bases (there is also a similar slider that you can use for each ballplayer). When set in the middle of the slider, a team should be about as aggressive as an average team IRL (though, my own testing suggests that a notch toward the conservative side of the slider is probably a more close match to real life). That is the only way that a "manager" can influence or change base-running behavior.

Other than that, the game tries to model what real base-runners would do depending on their speed, base-running talent, where the ball is hit to, what type of hit, etc.
