Tapia also was a very good base-stealer at the minor league level but hasn't shown much of that at the big league level.

117 speed, 131 basestealing and 151 baserunning.
That's more based on his recent MLB and high minors performance where he doesn't run much but is pretty efficient when he does.
The speed and stealing/baserunning ratings would probably flip if we were taking into greater account his earlier minorleague career, when he was stealing a lot of bases but at poor efficiency but based on his recent performances at the higher levels, those ratings are pretty spot on.
