This may seem like a trivial question, but are CS% for runners normalized?
I just read an interesting article where it said the SB% was around 55-60% in the 50s, and is into the 70s today. Even without official stats, it's believed that the % was even lower prior to 1950 when official records for CS were not kept.
WiS is filled with guys from before 1950 with huge volume of SBs, but success % in the 50-60% range, but are these normalized?
Is a guy who stole 50/80 in 1900 given a boost, while someone who stole 60/80 in modern times might even take a hit?
If not... maybe it should be?
