He needs 62 (OPS at .615 right now), if I understand the way you are counting this right.
And if so many have done it. Rickey did it 5 times.
Also Billy Hamilton has already done it. 3 times I believe, not counting an amazing 1894 season where he stole 100 but still didn't do it.

19th century stolen bases were scored differently. Going from first to third on a single counted as a SB.

Yeah, I doubt he makes it. Just saying if we're gonna entertain the possbility, he's pretty much the only guy with a shot.

nowadays, since no one has OBP skills, would we be happy for a 330 here with 70 steals?

I would be thrilled with that, but 330 will be hard because nobody will be walking a guy like this unless they're incapable of strikes. He's likely to face the highest percentage of strikes in the league for years and would probably need 280+ BA for 330.
If he gets anywhere near that he will be valuable though especially considering his defense is excellent.

Dee Gordon is lapping this guy.
Here's the complete list since 1901 using OPS+ for those who had enough PAs to qualify. Willy Taveras made the cut!!

Billy's having a good game. Flying all over the place.
Do we know just how fast he is? I don't necessarily mean in terms of a stopwatch, but rather baseball-speed. How would he compare to some of the burners of the past: Mantle, Coleman, Wilson, Bo, etc?
