STATCAST SPRINT SPEED CONVERTED TO MLB THE SHOW RATING
Sprint Speed is Statcast’s foot speed metric, defined as “feet per second in a player’s fastest one-second window.” The Major League average on a "max effort" play is 27 ft/sec, and the max effort range is roughly from 23 ft/sec (poor) to 30 ft/sec (elite).

I will be updating this thread again this year like i did in 2016.
SCEA does an excellent job assigning ratings to the players and updating them on their weekly roster updates but i think they need to do something with a lot of players that are known speedsters or players that we know have good or decent speed and yet they have low or inaccurate speed ratings. I know speed is one of the toughest ratings to get right, you shouldn't use Stolen Base numbers for speed ratings because theres a lot of factors that impact SB opportunities/success (Spot in the order, player ability to read pitchers etc) for example: Since Mike Trout was moved to the 3rd spot his SB numbers have gone way down not because he is slower but because as a #3 hitter a lot of times he is going to bat in the first inning with 2 outs, another is you can't risk being thrown out with Pujols batting. Speed is something that should be measured by time, MPH, Top Speed and Acceleration (home to first, around the bases, 1st to 3rd, 60 yards etc) but as of today we don't have easy access to a reliable source, Statcast is the perfect tool let's hope they create or release charts/lists with the speed stats of MLB players.
I will be adding players based on my knowledge, scouting reports etc, they are not going to be perfect but they will be more accurate, I will be editing this post and continue to add players to the list.
