Congratulations to Bobby Witt Jr. Fastest player in MLB

the bronx ain't the bronx since Geroge died. The Bronx is now LA. Yeah, he'll go to the dodgers. Baseball is the worst.
that's what I love about the Angels though. They are the one team that doesn't just say "meh, we could make more profit by sending our best players over to the Dodgers." They are the one team that says F DAT NOISE

remember the first year SDS had the rights to Ohtani and they made him like 15 speed? Then they found out he's really fast and had to release new cards. lulz. i member.

The idea remains the same. He'll be another star player that leaves a small market because a small market can't compete. And I'm a team that would benefit from Bobby Witt leaving in 6-7 years time to join my big market phillies

The economic state of baseball is a travesty, I agree. I have a bunch of family in Kansas City and they barely even follow the sport cause they know if they get a good player (like Witt), he'll just bounce to LA.

Statcast has BWJ as the fastest recorded runner in the game of Major League Baseball. There will NOT be a 99 speed card released of him. But if sds was smart, they would have made him 99 speed to begin with.
Fastest runner in MLB according to physics is unplayably slow according to SDS. 88 speed, no.
This is false. He might have the fastest sprint speed in one particular play but he is certainly not the fastest by averages player in baseball. That would be Trae Turner and Byron Buxton who go back and forth as the fastest by average over the past few seasons. I mean Ronald Acuna jr had a sprint speed in one at bat that exceeded 31 feet per second just last week but he certainly isn’t that fast routinely which both Turner and Buxton are.
What are you talking about? Pure top speed is pure top speed. This is his first year anyways, so who cares about average fastest player the last two years?
They are talking about the stat that shows what every players top speed was for the year (which can be accomplished once or accomplished multiple times) The stat that matters is the stat that averages every single time they sprinted which would encompass plays where they are trying to beat out a play whether it be multiple bases or home to first. Sprinting 32 feet per second one time doesn’t mean they can do that every time. Trae Turner and Byron Buxton are the only players in Major League Baseball that average over 31 feet per second on average. There is a huge difference between the two.
geez man you sound dumb. how fast you can run is how fast you can run. it isn't variable. if you got speed, you got speed. if you don't, you don't. I'm in no hall of fames anywhere but I ran track in high school. Fast runners are fast runners, there's not a lot of variability in it. Our record holders didn't just have a good day at the track, bro.
You cannot be this stupid seriously. Witt might have sprinted faster than anyone in one particular moment. That does not make him the fastest man in baseball. What your saying is akin to saying that some random Olympic sprinter who was faster than Usain Bolt in a qualifying heat is faster than Bolt. That’s absolute garbage. And yes there are variables that effect sprint speed such as wind, humidity and equipment. If I were to put my money on who would win a race between Witt, Turner and Buxton. Witt finishes a distant 3rd. Average sprint speed is much more of an indicator of actual top end speed than the what one individual does once or even twice during a full 162 games. Statcast tracks both by the way. So please don’t lecture me on this [censored] especially when you’re pedaling a false narrative.

88 speed in unplayable?
yes it is if you want to steal a base. come on now, junior.
I can steal bases easily with less than 88 speed. Depending on catcher/pitcher and steal rating, you only need like 68 ish speed with 50+ stealing or so to pull it off regularly. And I highly doubt I'm your junior guy.

Fastest runner in MLB according to physics is unplayably slow according to SDS. 88 speed, no.
They would also then have to give him 30 contact, dude is hitting .211

No one cares. There's bigger fish to fry with sds
Fish? The horror!
SDS could mess up a microwave popcorn popping at this point, lolI don’t think some of them could even open up the door to get it started.

No, but I remember the year that Julio Rodrigues went up like 40 points in speed during an update...wait, that was this year.
SDS's ratings for guys who don't have 5 years in MLB are trash.
