I am in a 2015 player only league.  The stolen base attempts are screwed up big time.  Through almost 120 games (75% of the season):

League average for team stolen base attempts is 20 attempts, with 49 being the high.

Dee Gordon (78 attempts in real life) has 25 attempts
Billy Hamilton (65 attempts in real life) has 10 attempts
Charlie Blackmon (56 attempts in real life) has 12 attempts

Ryan Braun is on my team, is set at 5 for base stealing, bats leadoff (whatever), is over performing and exceeding his PAs on the season.  He is set at 5 for base stealing - which means total green light - and has been all season.  In real life he was 24/28 in stolen base attempts.  Through 75% of the season, batting leadoff, with a .400 OBP, set at green light all the way '5' for base stealing, he has 6 attempts.

Through our league chat there is clear acknowledgment that there is a stolen base problem.

I have sent in a ticket.  WIS said they would look into it.  This was 10 days ago.  No follow up since then.  No update or release notes.  Not even an acknowledgement that there is a problem.  How do we draw this to WIS's attention and get it fixed??

Does anyone else see the same issue we do in the APPA league with reduced stolen base attempts for 2015 players?

What are the catcher arms being used? If everyone's using an A+ arm catcher, for instance, SBs go way down.

Are team OBPs where you expect them to be, or is Braun's unusually high?

Don't forget about small sample sizes.

It is an all 2015 league so catchers are all 2015 catchers.  Generally the arms are fairly split between As and C/Ds.

As a whole, I would say offense is overperforming on the average.  League splits are .273/.336/.440/.776  Real life was .254/.317/.405/.721

In real life there were 3569 SB attempts over 165488 ABs or 1 every 46 ABs.  We are averaging 20 SB attempts per 4073 ABs or 1 every 204 AB.  I know that is not a perfect example but it's within the realm of meaningful.  In real life there were 3569 SB attempts over 4858 games or .735 attempts per game.  In our league, an average of 20 over 114 games or .175 per game.

Historically, in this progressive league, we shatter all of the RL SB numbers as most have a tendency to run a lot more than RL (in 2014 our WIS SB leaders were: 120, 119, 97, 86, 76, 65 - real life leader had 64).

It could be a normalization thing, but with all 2015 players that shouldn't have much, if any, affect.

Kinda what I was thinking....

There was another thread about this within the last few months though. Prob just copied the wrong URL

Has anyone actually submitted a ticket about this, rather than just complaining about it in the forums?

Yes.  I did. On Feb. 1.  They said they would look into it.  On Feb 4 I asked if they found anything.  No response since.

Cool...there's a good likelihood that there is an error then. Otherwise they would have responded pretty quickly. Sounds like whatever is going on is difficult for them to sort put.

Bryan, We tracked down an issue today with 2015 catchers and how frequently batters try to steal off them. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

we are referencing the same league, I had the same response ticket chain; which has also been updated by tzentmeyer on the linked thread. Good thing our APPA season was 3/4 complete when they fixed it...
