Unveiled: The Rookie Who Shattered MLB Stealing Records and Left Legends in Dust
Most Stolen Bases by a Rookie in a Season
1. 110 – Vince Coleman, St. Louis Cardinals (1985)
Coleman holds the rookie record for most stolen bases in a season – and is the only player on the list to hit triple-digits. In his major league debut, he swiped two bags. And he would go on to succeed in 81.5% of his 135 stolen base attempts that season. The Rookie of the Year had multiple steals in 28 games, including one in which he stole four.
Ultimately, Coleman’s 110 stolen bases in ’85 rank third for a single season. He swiped 100+ bags over the next two years, becoming the first player in MLB history to have triple-digit steals in three consecutive seasons.
