I couldn't find one. This is a reach for Hawk but I like satto. It means quickly or suddenly. Another such term with the same meaning is ikinari.

It might be more suitable because of Ig & Ik.

 

For a team that had a total of 78 SB's last year his 30 SB avg over 4 seasons makes that his most distinguishable feat in his 1st year. Something related to that is a good name.

 

The more common one's are kaitou & shinobi. Both refer to sneaky thief.

Kaitou is my favorite in that regards because it's mysterious or phantom in nature. Shinobi implies stealing into so it might be a better baseball analogy.

 

Summary:

sattou/ikinari - quickly/agile

kaitou/shinobi - sneaky/mysterious theif - base stealer

 

I think when he's on base this year I'll yell out Kaitou!

Some people (not me) might find sneaky to be steriotypical toward a person of Japanese persuasion, I personally would see it for stealing bases which is what you're saying but I bet someone would probably complain about it.
