Gunnar is the best base runner in the majors!

Also, the O’s are tied with the Reds for best baserunning team in the majors, at +12 runs.  No other team is above +6.

Austin Hays is shockingly bad according to this analysis. Like wow, he’s way, way down that list.

Bad luck on that one last night too. Tailed just enough in the wrong spot or it would have been a homer.

But all 3 of those guys get around the bases so quickly and with such ease. It’s no surprise they are the leaders in triples.

It’s fun watching Gunnar run once he’s got up a head of steam.   I’ve seen faster guys home to first but he can really bust it once he gets going.

Pretty awesome that he's already the best baserunner in the majors.

I tend to be a little skeptical about fielding and baserunning stats but seeing Alejandro Kirk at dead last (and by far) passed the credibility test for me.

That was one beautiful swing he put on the ball in the 9th last night.

Too bad it kept tailing away. Little bit of bad luck that it didn’t get out.

He is such a talent.

Eh, a true talent would have hit the ball further and tied the game up. He's okay, for sure, though. I guess I'd keep him on the team.
