Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang has been a pivotal player in the team’s success this year. He plays gold glove caliber defense, bats leadoff, and he steals a lot of bases. Against the Cincinnati Reds he swiped his 40th base of the year and became just the ninth player in Brewers franchise history to accomplish this.
Only nine Milwaukee Brewers players have stolen at least 40 bases in a single season.
The Brewers have had 13 seasons in which a player has stolen at least 40 bases in a season, but Brice Turang is just the ninth different player to accomplish it. Other Milwaukee players to swipe bags include Tommy Harper, Scott Podsednik, Jonathan Villar, Pat Listach, Paul Molitor, Jean Segura, Darryl Hamilton, and Carlos Gomez.
