Again, that's the roster having a good speed steal factor.
Look at Rickey, at Age 42 last year he hit .227, only played 123 games and still stole 25 bases.
If Ichiro is still burning around the basepaths at Age 39, he too is going to steal a lot of bases.
Age has very little to do with it. If a player is still fast (Like Rolen gave him) he's going to run.
A player may regress quickly, but if you put someone at Age 60 with A-A for Speed-Steal and gave him 60 HRs Vs. Both he would probably have an MVP Season. But that's becauase of the RATINGS he was given by the ROSTER MAKERS. Not the Game Developers.
