What Is The Definition Of Double Steal In Baseball?
1. A double steal in baseball occurs when two baserunners steal a base on the same play. This usually occurs with runners on first and second base and both baserunners attempt a steal on the same pitch.
However, if one of the baserunners is caught on stealing on the play, the other baserunner is not credited with a stolen base. Therefore, a double steal can only occur is both runners are safe.
