Steals Runs Conversion Rate

The baseball world is a stats driven entity nowadays with every accomplishment on the field sliced, diced, parsed and over analyzed to the extreme. If it doesn't exist already I'm adding one more to the mix. I tried looking on Google but if it doesn't show up on the first page it doesn't exist, right? I am talking about the steals runs conversion rate.

Basically I'm talking about the rate at which a runner converts a steal into runs. That could be parsed out into further stats to track their rates for stealing second, third and home. Of course the rate for stealing home would be a no-brainer one hundred percent but those would help skew the over all totals. 

As with most everything in the hitting game it is also dependent upon how those batting later in the order perform. A player can steal the base to get in better scoring position and be left stranded if his teammates don't live up to their end. That is the nature of the sport.

In a real world example the Los Angeles Dodgers played the Atlanta Braves today and won 6-4. In the game Dee Gordon had two steals and ended up scoring both times. Easy math as that works out to a one hundred percent conversion rate for the game. Yet the telling stat would be to find out how many of his 54 steals this season were converted into runs. 

Today I'm staking my claim and putting my flag on the mountain of baseball history. That would be interesting if it became adopted as an accepted statistic in baseball. It would be cooler if I am truly the first to come up with it.
