I remember back when Devin Mesoraco would turn a stand up double into a hustle single and I’m glad those days are behind us.
I am glad we are fast and aggressive on the base paths. Hopefully long gone are the days we were slow and unintelligent.
In addition to Moose, Kyle Farmer is surprisingly slow
I love watching teams get excited when a ground ball is hit to the shortstop with a man on first they barely get the first guy and Elly is six steps past first by the time the ball get there.
Not hitting into two GIDP a game is nice.
When I saw Matt McLain hit an inside the park home run last year in Double A, I knew things would be better before long.
Replacing Moose (10th % in sprint speed), Farmer (33rd %), Pham (60th %), Drury (47th %), Solano (11th %), Almora (57th %), and Naquin (60th %) with EDLC (100th %), Steer (78th %), Friedl (79th %), Benson (88th %), Fairchild (93rd %), McLain(91st %) and Newman (77th %) will definitely help your team speed.
