The best base stealers are going to be the shorter, quicker guys who are less likely to have power. It's the same reason that 20 meters into a 100 meter dash a guy like Maurice Greene would be ahead of Usain Bolt.

Then you have the power hitters generally in the middle of the lineup and guys in the middle of the lineup don't run as much.
