We have a 3-way tie for our most popular incorrects, selected by 3 contestants each. Ronald Acuna Jr. has been everything the Braves could have hoped for, and with his new extension he's locked up for Braves country for the foreseeable future. For this question though, he's only managed 2 steals.

Also played by 3 people, our next incorrect is Jose Altuve. He went on a surprising power binge earlier in the year, homering in 5 straight games, but he only has 1 steal.

Our final would-be 3-pointer is Amed Rosario. The Mets' shortstop has 2 steals.

The remaining incorrects are all would-be ace hunters, which I'll reveal alphabetically. The White Sox apparently have an outfielder named Adam Engel, and he's only received 29 AB's on the year so far, with 1 HR and no steals.

The Orioles also apparently have a player named Cedric Mullins, who's hitting a cool .094 on the season thus far, with 1 steal.

Our next incorrect is Ender Inciarte, who is a player I'm feeling increasingly meh about as a Braves fan. If he's hitting .300+, stealing 30 bases a year, and playing gold glove defense, he's fine, but if he's hitting .250 and not running much, then I'd rather see what this Pache kid can do. Anyway, with the emergence of ACUNA, he's been something of a part time player, and he has 2 steals.

Our next incorrect is Javier Baez. He broke out in a big way last year, and reducing the strikeouts for more power seems to have carried over to this year as well. He has 6 homers, but only 2 steals so far.

Our next incorrect is Jean Segura. The recent Phillies acquisition is hitting just fine, at .328 currently, but he only has 1 steal.

Our next incorrect is a guy I drafted two years in a row in fantasy, and also rage-dropped in April two years in a row. Former Braves farmhand Jose Peraza did steal his 2nd base on Saturday, but the OPS of .384 isn't going to cut it.

Our final incorrect is the Nationals' exciting young outfielder Victor Robles. He also bubbles for this question with 3 steals.

There are two 5-point SHEEP answers for this question. Apparently it was not all that sneaky to select Adalberto Mondesi for this question. The Royals' SS had a very nice 2nd half of last season, and has ridden that to 7 steals on the young season.

Our next corrects are a trio of 4-pointers. The man they call W.-HIT Merrifeld carried over his nice hitting streak from last season, and has also managed 5 steals.

Our next 4-point correct is Merrifield's teammate Billy Hamilton. He still can't steal 1st base, with an average of .241, but Royals fans can live with that if he swipes 50 bags again. He currently has 8 steals.

Our final 4-point correct is Trea Turner. He apparently can't walk down the street without an anvil falling on his head, as he's back on the injured list, but he did manage to swipe 4 bags before going down.
