By both. I thought I commented on that one, but maybe never sent.
Barbosa's SB per 600 PA this year were 92.68. His BB were too, 19 of each in 123 PA. Can he sustain that? The BB about make sense with his size, though the only pic I've found in the box shows him standing up straight, bat straight up, elbows in front of him. Found a couple videos now and I'd just add that his knees are bent about 140 degrees, closer to straight up than bent 90 and not very spread apart. That was all college video. I half expected a Rickey type crouch after seeing the walk totals. This one is entirely a bunt single with a runner on, advancing and holding at 2nd on a single, then scoring from 2nd;

Thanks for reminding me there's better things to look at than Witherspoon. I like the look, but speed has always been my favorite tool. That often keeps me interested in a Witherspoon type later than I probably should though.
