It just worked together with everything else to give a bit better bottom line than the other. I didn't just lower the speed, I increased the frequency of attempts from "Rarely" to "Normal." My 100-year sim last night had two guys steal 100 bases in a season, and two steal 1000 in a career. Don't worry, the SB ain't dead by any means.

Incidentally, in 100 seasons with the 1.01 version of the settings, I had only two guys hit over .385: one guy hit .391, and the other hit .419. Now THAT'S an outlier.
