Christian Arroyo's Stolen Bases of 8 compared to Cole Young's 5 represents a 60% advantage — dramatically better than their counterpart in this critical category. It is the single most decisive number in this comparison and the clearest statistical argument for Christian Arroyo's edge.

The most competitive category in this matchup is OPS, where Cole Young posts .669 against Christian Arroyo's .693 — a gap of just 3.6%.

Christian Arroyo wins this head to head comparison decisively — 6 categories to 0. The 60% gap in Stolen Bases alone makes a compelling case, but the consistency across multiple categories confirms Christian Arroyo's statistical superiority in this MLB career comparison.
