One of my own personal goals is to have at least one player in the top 5 in steals every year, and for my team to lead the league in steals every year, and I'm not sure the game will let me do this without unacceptably high CS totals. If you play your games out, how do you get good stolen base totals without getting caught half the time?

I switch to pitch-by-pitch mode when I have a good base stealer on base, then I wait until my hitter is ahead in the count so that I know that there won't be a pitch out. Then I use run and hit so that the hitter still has the opportunity to hit. I am in September 2018, and I currently have three players in the top five in steals (Leury Garcia, Moncada, and Anderson).
