I'm happy to help with this, since I spend loads of time on Fangraphs and have already found numerous articles on fielding/throwing Statcast data.
It would be great if more Statcast numbers came out, but other than listicles, or one off videos, all I've seen is batted ball data.

We might be able to start using range data for fielding, but our best source of speed is still 1st-to-3rd rates, and such.

It's absolutely maddening. Mike Petriello and Daren Willman essentially have had full access to Statcast for 2+ years and they haven't posted anything beyond "did you know?" and "Top 10" type of stuff. I mean, you can search for a lot of batted ball and pitch data on Willman's Baseball Savant website already, but the speed and defense stuff they are making much harder to come by. To their credit, they did publish a new stat this year called "catch probability" that helps you rank outfielders and their range, albeit not in the greatest sortable format. Hopefully they continue to add to the database on Baseball Savant so that we can directly compare all running speeds etc in the future.

Re: Speed Ratings - MLB The Show 17

I'm a big statcast guy so every one of these players likely measures very well in statcased based data. The game ratings and OSFM ratings do not do a good job of giving players with good arms credit:

Here are players that should see arm rating boosts. Most of my sources are Mike Petriello statcast articles and are easily verifiable.

1. Aaron Hicks: 99.4 mph - only at an 87 ovr, capable of throwing 105 w/ crow hop.
2. Starling Marte: 97 mph
3. Danny Santana -- 96.8 mph
4. Carlos Gomez: 95.8 mph
5. Jake Marisnick: 95.7 mph
6. Carlos Gonzalez: 95.5 mph
7. Michael Taylor: 95.4 mph
8. Eddie Rosario: 95 mph
9. Tyler Naquin: 94.8 mph
10. Byron Buxton: 94.8 mph

Other players with great arms (have played some OF, or all OF)
2. Sano (3B, played some RF)-- 95.5 mph
3. Carlos Gonzalez -- 94.3 mph
4. Starling Marte -- 94.1 mph
5. Adam Eaton -- 94.0 mph
6. Yasiel Puig -- 93.5 mph
9. Steven Souza Jr. -- 92.1 mph
10. Kole Calhoun -- 91.9 mph

Buxton should also have the second fastest speed rating in the game, to Billy H.

Home to 1st (non-bunt) -- right-handed batter

2016 Record: Byron Buxton, 3.72 seconds against the Indians on July 15
2016 MLB average time: 4.62 seconds. His current speed rating of 92 does not do him justice as there are several players above that.

Didi Gregorious has the second best SS arm in the AL according to statcast. He should have an arm in the mid 80's.

Cesar Hernandez definitely should be higher than 75.

Javy Baez had a 94.8 mph throw last year
