Marte's sprint lights up Statcast measurements

NEW YORK -- Ketel Marte flashed his speed in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Yankees, catching everyone except Mariners third-base coach Manny Acta off guard when he scored all the way from first on a single to center by Robinson Cano for a key run in the fifth inning. But just how fast was Marte on the play?

According to Statcast™ measurements, the 22-year-old shortstop took just 8.9 seconds to run from first to home, which is the fastest recording of any baserunner in that situation in the Majors this season and the second-fastest since Statcast™ began tracking such things at the start of 2015.
