These changes [pitch clock, only two pickoff attempts, bigger bases] could lead teams to experiment with adding speed to their rosters.

“I do a lot of homework,” he said. “You can’t just go get a track guy and tell him to run the bases and see what happens. He might be successful a couple times, but his percentage is not going to be good.You’ve got to know the game. You’ve got to know the pitches, the pitch count, who’s hitting, who’s playing first base.”

But bizarre-statswise, yes, Washington is the clear winner in this category.

Anybody else? (I haven't checked.)

That article also said this:

Perhaps the most compelling statistic? Gore has three World Series championship rings, more than the rest of the 2022 Mets combined. On a team with several stars, including Pete Alonso, Edwin Díaz and Jeff McNeil, who have no postseason experience at all, Gore is a grizzled veteran, even if he only has one career R.B.I.
