The computer geniuses over at MLB.com’s Baseball Savant have released a new baserunning split utilizing Statcast data that measures 90ft running speed. Specifically, how fast a player accelerates and decelerates while running the bases.
Just added this really cool new breakdown to the @statcast 90ft split for players... It breaks down percentile rankings at each interval and lets you easily see which players get good bursts and which ones slow down at the end of a run. @tangotiger https://t.co/SROIj5G63v
