The clearest sign Cespedes' legs are healthier occurred in the third inning when he slashed a ball down the right-field line. He immediately busted out of the box and stretched the hit into a double. He reached a max speed of 28.7 feet per second while running to second, per Statcast™, an improvement from his average max-effort Sprint Speed of 27.1 feet per second -- the average MLB max effort is 27.0 feet per second this season. In 2015, Cespedes' average max effort was 28.6, indicating he was back on par to his former levels with his sprinting on that double.
