On Speed and Baserunning

Would love to see them finally get off of the "average" of players' speed metrics and instead use the average of their top 5-10 feet per second redcordings. That way, we aren't seeing speed ratings so low for players that you can watch a game and see them blaze but because they aren't always booking it throughout a game (a lot of vet players reserve energy obviously), they get lower rated.
Also, for the love of god, can we get an ability to put contact plays or something on with runners on 3rd? The baserunning AI is and has been [censored], so some kind of manual control would be nice with important situations like that.

I believe that they do use Statcasts sprint speed ranking for the speed attribute
