What was each runners SB/CS numbers before the game in question? What was the catchers CS% before that game. How many games played so far? Sorry for all the questions but we have to look at the numbers in context. No single game (or 5 or 10) can be used to judge a fundamental stat output.

The other question is; were all 4 SBA in good order strategy wise? Tough one to answer but even the best base stealers have to pick their spots. I have a sneaky feeling that the OOTP game engine has an algorithm for that scenario.

Last but not least, were they straight steals or R&H or H&R. I don't think I've used "steal x base" since v11.

Edit

Oops forgot to ask. Does your league actual SB totals output and SB success rate match the expected output from the year/era in question?
