\u201cAs a team, we\u2019ve got to have the confidence to run,\u201d said Bobby Witt Jr., who swiped seven more bags than last year with a team-leading 38. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to get back to Royals baseball. We\u2019ve got to be the gritty team. We\u2019re not going to hit a lot of home runs. But we do have to go out there and play fundamental baseball. Get the extra 90 when they give it to you. Go out there and be fearless. At times, I think we were a little fearful instead of being fearless.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s so much that goes into baserunning that it\u2019s hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong. Witt stole more bases this year, but he still felt like he could have had more and pointed to several reasons why he didn\u2019t, including that his on-base percentage dipped (.389 last year to .351 this year) and that he was limited by injuries at times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
