Randy Arozarena struck out three times and was caught stealing after a walk Tuesday against the A’s.
In Arozarena’s defense, the caught stealing on a 3-2 pitch should have been ball four, giving him the base. Still, it was foolish that he simply assumed that and didn’t run out the steal on what turned out to be a called strike three on a checked swing, allowing himself to be tagged while standing up. Arozarena is 20-for-29 stealing bases this year. 36 players have more steals than him, but only six have more caught stealings.
