The Border Cats speedster is rapidly racing up the league’s single-season stolen base charts, the odds better than good that anytime an opposing pitcher allows the Pflugerville, Texas native to reach first, it won’t be long before he’s standing on third.
Chestnut says he views his speed as just one more weapon in the team’s arsenal, a chance to make the opposition pitcher think twice before throwing to the plate. The failure to keep him in check often means he’s standing on second before the catcher can get the ball out of his glove. In the big leagues, the art of the stolen was lost, analytics saying the risk simply wasn’t worth the reward. In the 1980s, Henderson’s heyday, the stolen base was king, with the likes of Ron LeFlore, Vince Coleman, Tim Raines and Willie Wilson tearing up the basepath, a steal perhaps the most exciting play in baseball, with the possible exception of the home run.
His teammates love it, though one in particular is probably happiest Chestnut signed with the Border Cats and not another division rival — catcher Cole Ketzner.
