Best speedsters in MLB for 2015

Gordon's combination of batting average and speed is unmatched. He led the NL in both batting average and stolen bases last season, and has a league-high 122 steals over the last two years.

There's certainly no one faster in the game than Hamilton, but it's hard to steal first base. He had 57 steals in only 114 opportunities last season yet hit only .226. 2016 could be a make-or-break year for Hamilton as a regular.

Dyson seems likely to pick up regular playing time in 2016 after serving as Kansas City's top bench speedster over the last four years. Over that time, he has 126 steals in 147 attempts.

Blackmon has proven he can do it all as Colorado's leadoff man. He had 43 steals and hit .287-17-58 last season.

Revere reached 30 stolen bases for the fourth time in 2015 and will join Washington as the team's leadoff hitter this season. He's also a career .295 hitter.

Altuve has developed into an elite leadoff hitter and led the AL in stolen bases in two straight years. He has 94 steals over the last two seasons and has won two straight Silver Sluggers.

Pollock had a breakout season in 2015, hitting .315-20-76 with 39 steals as Arizona's leadoff man. He has 66 stolen bases for his career.

Cain has become a household name with his contributions over the last two playoffs. He's swiped 28 bases in consecutive seasons for the Royals while hitting above .300.

Like father, like son. DeShields has developed into a speedster just like his dad, who played in the Majors for 13 years and compiled 463 steals for his career. The younger DeShields is just getting started, with 25 steals in his rookie season.

Inciarte is expected to be a full-time player from the get-go for the first time this season. He had 21 steals last season and 19 in 2014.

The tool-rich Marisnick can add a spark off the bench. Last season he saw only 372 plate appearances but had 24 steals for the Astros.

The best name in speedsters, Burns had 26 steals in his rookie season. He once stole 74 bases as a minor leaguer, so Oakland likes his upside.

Polanco struggled in his sophomore season for the Pirates, but he still had 27 steals as their leadoff man. The organization expects big things from him in the future.

Segura has struggled to get on base over the last two seasons, but he still has a combined 45 steals over that time. He had 44 steals in 2013, as well.

Pillar was a huge asset for Toronto offensively and defensively last season. He had 25 steals in only 29 attempts last year, while hitting .278.

Reyes has ended up in Colorado with 479 steals to his name, including 24 last season. He's also a .290 hitter for his career.

The consistent Andrus has swiped at least 20 bases in all seven seasons of his MLB career. He had 25 steals in 34 attempts last season.

Heyward doesn't look like a speedster given his huge frame, but that's what he's become. In addition to playing elite defense, Heyward has swiped at least 20 bases three times in the last four seasons.

Gose has struggled to find regular playing time in his career due to his bat, but there's no mistaking his wheels. He had 23 steals last season and will compete for regular playing time with Cameron Maybin this year.

Ellsbury has led the AL in steals three times, but he doesn't run like he used to. He had only 21 steals for the Yankees last season after stealing 39 bases in 2014.

Maybin rebounded last season after a couple injury-plagued season in San Diego, hitting .267 with 23 steals for the Braves. He will battle for playing time with the Tigers this season.

Gardner has developed more power recently just as his speed has declined. He's still swiped at least 20 bases in six of the last seven seasons and led the AL in steals back in 2011.

Davis' streak of consecutive 30-plus steals in a season halted at six last year, but he still had 18 steals in 112 games for the Tigers. He could see more playing time this year with Cleveland.

Betts has become quite the leadoff man for Boston, hitting 18 homers and swiping 21 bases last season. He's also a career .291 hitter.

Peraza is just breaking into the game, but the Reds are very high on his talent. He had 36 steals between the minors and Majors last season and 60 stolen bases in 2014.
