Ivan Herrera's 45-game streak without throwing out a base stealer continues

Summary

Ivan Herrera of the St. Louis Cardinals has not thrown out a base stealer in 45 attempts since September 1, 2024. In the ongoing 2026 season, he is 0 for 22 against base stealers while catching in 30 games. Despite a strong offensive presence, ranking near the top in on-base percentage, Herrera’s struggles on defense have been notable for the Cardinals. After arthroscopic surgery to improve his throwing mechanics, Herrera remains a key player in the lineup, splitting time between catcher and designated hitter. The Cardinals continue to support him as he maintains his role as the only player to appear in all 80 games this season.
