The pitcher hold ratings might have more to do w/ it than the catchers arm. Also......what era are you playing? If you are playing current day, remember steals are down in recent years, and success rates are around 70%. I bet that's why if you use the normal "steal" option you get "can't get a good lead" a lot....to keep attempts at historical levels. If you are using run and hit or force steal, you are kinda working around that......like you are forcing your guys to run more than what is normal these days. I wonder if that's part of it.

I notice if I try to focus on steals, I end up getting caught a lot no matter who it is.
