Sounds similar to Linsanity. He was able to explode in 2012, but probably only because teams weren't game planning for him or scouting him at all.  Once they knew what he was capable of, he wasn't able to reproduce the same level of output. Though for Lin, injuries played a part in that too.

He’s Short, Stout and Really Slow—and He’s the Best Base-Stealer in Baseball

He is the best fat guy base stealer in baseball. I wouldn't go as far as saying best base stealer. Unlikely this is repeatable as teams will start paying attention to him as a base running threat. He probably picked up a lot of these steals simply because the other team assumed the slow, fat guy wasn't going to run. Changing leagues midseason probably helped with that as well as he played a new set of teams to surprise in the second half. 

Canada's own Josh Naylor is a smart baseball player and that is the first ingredient of being a good baseball stealer.
