The Shift being stopped new rule

[D. Bergin]

Lester was a Lefty, which by itself keeps most base runners somewhat honest.

Also, at the height of his yips in 2015 he DID allow 44 stolen bases at an 80% success rate...which is pretty atrocious for a lefty in a mostly non-running era of baseball.

still how many bases is that a start and he was zero threat to throw to first

and after 2 throws to first you can do a pitchout and i believe you can also throw to 2nd if no runner is there, again stolen bases will of course go up but wont be much crazier that runners did against Lester..
