Today, we're going to take a look at how good the Cardinals were in 2013 at taking extra bases once they had already reached base safely. To do so, we will be using the baserunning stats available at Baseball-Reference. I've changed the B-R labels a bit to make them easier to read in the charts. The stats we'll be using are:
- 1B-S: The number of times a player, team, or league was on first base when the batter hit a single.
- 1B-S-2B: The number of times a player, team, or league went from first base to second base on a single.
- 1B-S-2B%: The percentage share of times a player, team, or league went from first base to second base on a single.
- 1B-S-3B: The number of times a player, team, or league went from first base to third base on a single.
- 1B-S-3B%: The percentage share of times a player, team, or league went from first base to third base on a single.
- 1B-D: The number of times a player, team, or league was on first base when the batter hit a double.
- 1B-D-3B: The number of times a player, team, or league went from first base to third base on a double.
- 1B-D-3B%: The percentage share of times a player, team, or league went from first base to third base on a double.
- 1B-D-H: The number of times a player, team, or league safely scored from first base on a double.
- 1B-D-H%: The percentage share of times a player, team, or league safely scored from first base on a double.
- 2B-S: The number of times a player, team, or league was on second base when the batter hit a single.
- 2B-S-3B: The number of times a player, team, or league advanced from second base to third base on a single.
- 2B-S-3B%: The percentage share of times a player, team, or league advanced from second base to third base on a single.
- 2B-S-H: The number of times a player, team, or league safely scored from second base on a single.
- 2B-S-H%: The percentage share of times a player, team, or league safely scored from second base on a single.

If you read the Beyond the Box Score post on Peralta, his career numbers don't surprise you. There is some hope in the fact that the new St. Louis shortstop did a better job of advancing from first to third on a single than he has for his career. The Bourjos and Ellis numbers also aren't very surprising.
