Seemed a little unrealistic considering one of these steal attempts was on a breaking ball. So for now I'm keeping the delay at -8. I've still got the pitch speed slider set to 0. Do you think that slider plays a role in steal success? It seems like it would. If so, I'd imagine you'd need to lower steal speed even more with your pitch speed at -15.

When I first changed the pitch speed, the steal success didn't seem to change. So I'd say no. It's the baserunning speed and the throw accuracy plays a factor too. So you just got to tweak the baserunning speed/delay until you find the right balance.
