I'm having much too high a proportion of runners caught stealing. More CS than SB, league-wide, season after season. Historically, SB should outnumber CS by nearly 2 to 1.

There is a preponderance of good catcher arms in the league; more than half are 20 (scale of 1-20), and very few under 15, so obviously I suspect this to be either a cause or a symptom of the problem. I am using Arod-Garlon's random debut DB.

Turning up basestealing in league settings only makes it worse; the more aggressively they run, the more likely they are to get gunned down by those 20 arms.

I have now manually edited most of the catchers' arm ratings, reducing them so that the league-wide balance appears more even, and have not had a chance to test this yet. But my questions are:

• Is this a know issue, either of the game or of this particular DB?
• Is there a fix or workaround, or some way of influencing the CS%?
