From a Sporting News Article last season:
According to data from Baseball Savant, Stanton's sprint speed is 24.5 feet per second, which ranks as the 12th-slowest mark among all players with 50 or more competitive runs in 2023.
For comparison, Elly De La Cruz leads the league in sprint speed at 30.4 feet per second. Seven players with at least 50 competitive runs, including Bobby Witt Jr. and Corbin Carroll, have a sprint speed of 30 feet per second or more.
From home plate to first base, the numbers are even worse for Stanton: He ranks 328th out of 333 players, at an average of 5.01 seconds. He is ahead of four catchers and 40-year-old Miguel Cabrera.
Even so, Stanton isn't the slowest player on the Yankees — by a hair. Catcher Jose Trevino, whose sprint speed of 24.4 feet per second, ranks just behind Stanton. Anthony Rizzo is just ahead of Stanton and Trevino, at 24.6 feet per second...
Rizzo needs to stop trying to sneak steals by the opposition…especially when he gets horny for third base…

But what about the new and improved Stanton? What's his sprint speed going to be? |

Actually, I was proud to finish so close… had the race been any longer he would have disappeared over the horizon in front of me…The longer I ran, the less I liked it…I loved the short sprints with my eye on the ball in CF/LF. Hated RF, not enough action. Seems the population in that part of MD was overly out of balance in those years. One field I played on had a road that cut through RF. I was a life decision whether to run a ball down… 🤓 |

Chiyankee: BEWARE TOMORROW’S weather. Potential tornadoes and golf ball to tennis ball sized hail! chiyankee Thanks inger, but too late. Some small tornadoes came through the area tonight but nothing in my neighborhood. We did get some hail about an hour ago, pretty annoying if you have a car parked in your driveway and not the garage. |
