You wonder how OOTP could do justice to a player like Mickey Mantle. This was a player with a lifetime SB rate of 85% and ran the fastest recorded time from home to 1st of his time: 3.1 seconds. But (IIRC) he never stole more than 20 bases or so a season; Mantle's bat was too important and his managers were reluctant to risk his fragile knees. Does the game incorporate a higher risk of injury in SBAs?
