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.
