What happened: Joe Mack threw out 26 baserunners to lead Major League Baseball in caught stealing. He was called up in May and still finished ahead of catchers with full seasons.

Why it matters: The NL finalists at catcher are Freddy Fermin, Luis Torrens and Gabriel Moreno. That throw-out total from a midseason addition gives his club a deterrent that limits stolen-base attempts and late-game running.

By the numbers: Caught stealing: 26, 1st in MLB; Call-up month: May

What to watch: The Gold Glove winner at NL catcher will settle the award race and set Mack's starting point for 2027.
