Probabilistic Model Of Steals, Innings

The MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference gets me thinking about sabermetrics, and the one big thing that the conference brought out was the need for better ways to analyze catchers. Since I like probabilistic models, I thought I would try to apply them to stolen bases. The idea is to get an idea of which catchers are good at stopping the running game, but in the context of the situation, the base runner and the pitcher.
