I've looked at SPs with at least 100 innings and their hold rating compared to steals allowed vs caught stealing, and I couldn't see any correlation. But I've also looked at catchers stats, and their Catcher Arm rating seems to be a big factor for catching the base stealers. The guys above 80/100 arm have like 40% Runner Thrown Out %.
