When I was in Lansing last week I managed to take a video of both Michael Crouse and Jake Marisnick stealing second base.  The video is at the link at the bottom of the page, get your stopwatches out.  I haven't timed them, low four seconds is good.

Here is a frame from the video showing Michael Crouse stealing:

 

And here is Jake Marisnick:

 

And the video is at this link for Vimeo.  You can click through the videos to see various Blue Jay prospects such as Deck McGuire; Asher Wojciechowski; Aaron Sanchez; and Noah Syndergaard.

Great videos Gerry. Was that a hit-n-run for Marisnick? He seems to peer back at the pitch an awful lot for a straight steal.

I was looking through my camera at Marisnick so I didn't see the pitch or what the hitter did.  I believe Knecht was hitting after Marisnick and I am not sure if the Lugnuts would have hit and run with him.

Thanks Gerry, love to see the videos. Surprised to see that Marisnick has a small drop step on the pivot towards second. He must be especially quick to be so successful on the base paths.

It was definitely Knecht, and he makes enough contact that hitting-and-running should be part of his game.
