There are six other offensive ratings: Speed, Stealing Aggressiveness, Stealing Ability, Baserunning, Sacrifice Bunt, Bunt for Hit, and Hitter Type. Unlike hitting and pitching ratings, these "other" ratings do not have corresponding potential ratings. These ratings can be seen on the Player Profile and the Ratings page.

Speed

Speed is a measure of how quickly a player can run from one base to the next. Players with a high Speed rating are more likely to advance on balls in play, to turn a double into a triple (if the player does not have a separate "Triple Ratio" rating) and score runs. As of OOTP 25, Speed does not directly impact the player's ability to steal bases, or the frequency that the player tries to steal. While the Speed rating is only used on offense, it is correlated with defensive Range ratings, and as a player's Speed decreases with age, his Range is also likely to decrease.

Stealing Aggressiveness

Stealing Aggressiveness is theoretically a measure of how aggressive a player will be in trying to steal bases, but as of OOTP 25, this rating does not appear to have any affect on the frequency with which a player steals bases.

Stealing Ability

Stealing is a measure of how good a player is at stealing. Players with higher Stealing Ability will attempt to steal bases more frequently, and will be more successful in these attempts.

Baserunning

Baserunning is a measure of a player's ability when running the bases. Players with a high rating in Baserunning are more likely to take advantage of fielder miscues to advance a base, and less likely to get thrown out due to baserunning mistakes.

Sacrifice Bunt

Sacrifice Bunt is a measure of how well a player can execute a sacrifice bunt. Players with a high rating in Sacrifice Bunt are more likely to execute the bunt correctly, advancing the runner. They are also less likely to strike out while bunting.

Bunt for Hit

Bunt for Hit is a measure of how well a player can execute bunt in an attempt to reach base safely. Players with a high rating in Bunt for Hit are more likely to bunt to a good location for reaching base. Players with high Running Speed and high Bunt for Hit have the best chance at bunting for a hit. Left-handed hitters are also better at bunting for a hit.

 ===== Speed =====
-Speed is a measure of how quickly a player can run from one base to the next. Players with a high rating in Speed are more of a threat to steal bases, and are more likely to advance further on a ball in play. Running Speed is strictly for offensive play. For example, Speed does not factor into an outfielder's range. However, Speed and Defensive Range are linked internally. For example, as a player ages, his speed and range will generally decline at the same pace.

 ===== Stealing Aggressiveness =====
-Stealing Aggressiveness is a measure of how aggressive a player will be in trying to steal basses. The higher this rating is the more the player will try to steal a base.

-===== Stealing =====
+===== Stealing Ability =====
-Stealing is a measure of how good a player is at stealing. Stealing bases is not a matter only of speed, but also timing, knowledge of pitchers, and ability to 'get a good jump.' It is possible for a player to have a high Running Speed rating, but a low Stealing Bases rating, and vice versa, although the most dangerous baserunners have high ratings in both. A combination of strategy settings for stealing bases and Running Speed is used to determine how often a runner is given a "green light" to steal a base. Speed and pitcher Hold Rating then determine how good a jump the runner gets. If he gets a good jump and goes (ie a stolen base attempt) the Catcher Arm, pitcher Hold Rating, the type of pitch and Stealing Bases rating are the factors which determine whether the runner is safe.
