A different kind of list- stolen bases in one minor league season:

2006-2019
1 Rico Noel Covington ’08 2012 90
2 Rico Noel Covington ’08 2011 62
3 Rico Noel Covington ’08 2013 59

90 stolen bases?!? Rico Noel played in Lake Elsinore in 2012 (California League), and hit .270/.357/.305, with a 62/151 BB/K ratio. He had 139 hits, 62 walks, and was hit by a pitch eight times, which means he stole 90 bases after reaching base 209 times. Almost 50%. Noel also stole five bases in New York in the major leagues in 2015. He’s still playing in Indy Leagues- in 2019, he stole 45 bases for Sugarland in the Atlantic League. (In all levels of baseball, he’s stolen 542 bases in his career.)
