Show Notes
Boston Red Soxs new outfielder, Braiden Ward, is making waves in spring training with his impressive base-stealing skills. The 27-year-old has tied a 20-year-old record for the most steals in a single spring training, matching Eugenio Velezs total from 2008. His pace even rivals regular-season marks, like Jacoby Ellsburys 18 steals over a 16-game stretch in 2013. While experts see long odds for Ward making the opening day roster, his speed makes him a strong candidate for a call-up later as a pinch runner. With two weeks of games left, Ward gets another shot at the record on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins.
