Mookie Betts has 62 speed. He looked like the fastest player on the field throughout the playoffs.
If he isn't at least 80, they don't watch baseball.100% he should have high 80’s speed

They don't have to, all the metrics data is available to properly measure every player's attributes.
You don't have to watch a single game, just look them up on Fangraphs or BR and you know everything you need to know!

If he isn't at least 80, they don't watch baseball.They literally might grab speed ratings straight from this list https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard
I agree Mookie shouldn’t have 62 speed, probably somewhere in the 74-75 range, but he shouldn’t have 80 speed when he is the 72nd fastest player in baseball -

I agree Mookie shouldn’t have 62 speed, probably somewhere in the 74-75 range, but he shouldn’t have 80 speed when he is the 72nd fastest player in baseballI’ve seen this list before and compared his speed to others in the game who are close to him on this list and found that his speed rating is pretty accurate based on this. I think they should jack up his steal and br aggressiveness to 99 and I’m not sure if there is a stealing quirk but if there is give him that. Speed is what it is but he clearly knows how to steal bases and advance. He has to be about the best base runner in the game.

Fairbanks' avg speeds on his FB and slider are what he has on his card for the 2020 season. He probably has outlier on his fastball due to his playoffs. Check out baseball savant.

Correct. baserunning aggresiveness is what needs to be updated to 95+

Regardless of the stats they put on any cards, I think we can assume that SDS do not, in fact, watch much baseball. Actually - Maybe they watch the highlights section where they show all the home runs and botched plays in a condensed VT.

I would be surprised if I had outlier with only 94 velo. Most players with outlier if I’m not mistaken already have 99 velo.

I see his velo at 96 on his card.. but your point is valid..

I was referring to the velocity attribute not the speed of his fastball which is 96

But you got to think though that even if he is in the top 10% of fast runners in baseball, it’s safe to assume that the bottom 10% is the slowest of the slow(Miggy, Pujols, Yadi, Pitchers). The middle 80% run at about the same speed. They still are professional athletes after all. Being top 10% doesn’t mean you are head and shoulders faster than anyone in the middle.

No I agree with you he should not be head and shoulders above the middle guys. However, him being in the top 10% I feel like that definitely warrants an 80+ speed rating.

If he isn't at least 80, they don't watch baseball.ive been saying this since the first game. and all people do is bash me for it. saying his speed in game has nothing to do with IRL. saying stuff like hes the 70th fastest player in baseball or some [censored] like that

If those bottom 10% examples have speed ratings of 0 or under 10, then the top 10% should be over 80 at least. The middle 80% would all fall between 10 and 80.
-
I dont know i guess im different because i dont like the bottom 10% having below say 25 speed. I know some dudes are as slow as a turtle in peanut butter but they are professional athletes. Like my Grandal has 7 speed, wtf. Lt. Dan can run faster than that

There is no way that Fairbanks should only have 94 velo. My guy was pumping 100 MPH fastballs on a regular basis this postseason. Maybe they gave him outlier.
They must agree with you because they updated the card to 99 velo!
