I would expect the steals to go down to around what he has done before this year to help him conserve energy for the mound.

I agree. No telling what his numbers will end up, but my point is, Ohtani has incredible athletic ability to hit, pitch, and run, which is a combination never before seen. It's like if Mays could also go 16-8 as a pitcher.
