Speed Ratings - MLB The Show 17

Hey Jros! Mind taking a look at Dalton Pompey on the Blue Jays? 77 speed seems pretty low for a guy who has been put on their roster in playoffs just to steal bags a couple times. Thanks!

Baez has played 2.1 inn in his career in LF with no assists, we mentioned earlier that Baez defense is super underrated in the game.

Just a point about the Statcast data being cited...in the MLB.com articles by Mike Petriello, a lot of the numbers cited don't seem to be consistent from article to article due to sample size issues so I wouldn't slavishly adhere to the data in said articles. For example, here's an article that contains OF throw speeds that directly contradict values published earlier in this thread.

Until we can search Statcast ourselves for baserunning and defensive plays and set our own search parameters, we are going to be stuck with inconsistent numbers and piecemeal data like this.

Could you take a look at Almora Jr.'s Defensive ratings? His scouting With a 60 arm and a fielding of 65 on 20-80 scale. I know he's still inexperienced but his defense was definitely important to the Cubs playoff run.

Edit sorry don't worry about the speed stats I misread where his where.

We aren't assigning ratings by a single article or data list but recopiling as much data as possible to then make an educated guess, im checking statcast info, scouting grades 80-20 scale, scouting reports, baseball cube and seeing other people's opinion etc they still aren't going to be perfect but more accurate or closer to how they should be.
