Yadi's pickoffs

by john vb on Apr 7, 2008 3:30 PM EDT

According to the P-D (via ESPN.com), Yadi has the 5th most pickoffs since 1987, even though he's only been in the league for 4 years. I wondered, who is ranked ahead of him? I couldn't find pickoff leaderboards on baseball-reference.com, and I guess I'm too lazy to hunt down other sources. Does anybody know where I could find that information, specifically in a freely available web-based source?

I don't know where to look it up

But I'm almost certain that Ivan Rodriguez is at the top of that list.

the list

I forget where I saw it, but these are the three in front of him:

Ivan Rodriguez - 81
Benito Santiago - 45
Mike Matheny - 26
Yadi - 20

It's from this article

But it neglects to say who's #4 and who he's tied with.

I'm not sure where to find out that info.

I guess I skipped that part of the article

It's from STATS, but I don't see that data in any of the stats they have freely available.

1. Rodriguez … 81 … 18 years
2. Benito Santiago … 45 … 19 years
3. Mike Matheny … 26 … 13 years
4. Charile Oooooooooo’Brien … 23 … 14 years (Denver Zephyr, of course)
5. Javy Lopez … 20 … 15 years
6. Yadier Molina … 20 … 5 years
7. Olivo … 18 … 7 years
8. Brad Ausmus … 16 … 16 years

He posted this before Yadi got his 21st.

Which goes to show how spectacular I-Rod has been at this aspect of the game.

Yadi, with his insane, spectacular pack off rate, is "only" on pace for 72 after 18 years.

rodriguez vs yadi

Pudge may be the next big asterisk on that record. He did some serious juicing in the 90s. That said though he was a freak, could throw guys out at second from his knees! Yadi is definitely in his league, wish he would tone up a bit though!
