Story summary

John Naylor of the Seattle Mariners stole 19 bases in 54 games without being caught.
He is a slow runner yet adaptable hitter with a solid batting average and contact skills.
Analysts say he may not replicate a 30-steal season, but Seattle's performance could raise his draft value.
A reasonable expectation is around 15 steals, making him a valuable fantasy asset for batting average and runs batted in (RBI) contributions.
