Truthfully I don't really understand all the hype he's drawing. The 67 bases he stole in 2024 wasn't a particularly striking total. Here are some other stolen base per year totals from recent years:

2023 Ronald Acuña Jr. - 73
2023 Esteury Ruiz - 67
2010 Juan Pierre - 68
2009 - Jacoby Ellsbury - 70
2008 Willy Taveras - 68
2007 José Reyes - 78

Even Reyes didn't draw the hype despite leading the National League in stolen bases three years in a row from 2005 to 2007 and leading the National League in triples in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2011.
