Jakob Marsee Pacing International League in Steals
Jakob Marsee is leading Triple-A's International League with 39 steals. The 24-year-old is getting on base at a .369 clip thanks to a 14.6 percent walk rate, and although the batting average stands at .242, he's been hitting much better as of late. The left-handed hitter went 30-for-76 (.395) in 20 games from June 10 to July 2, before cooling off over the last three games (1-for-12). He's shown these flashes of hot hitting in the past, even winning the 2023 Arizona Fall League MVP, but is a career .238 hitter in the minors, so uses his ability to draw walks to get on base consistently and steal bases, notching 97 steals in 2023 and 2024 combined. This recent hot stretch of hitting could punch his ticket to the majors for a debut soon, but it will be his stolen base acumen that will provide fantasy value when he's finally there.
