Its also not nearly as important as how fast a pitcher throws. Top end speed is honestly the least important factor when i look at a guy's skating. I want quickness, agility, and balance (strength) much more than top speed. I want to watch those more closely than the top speed as they are more important overall imo.

I guess for a scout that is by themselves, I can buy that.
What surprises me is that when there are enough bodies to make it happen, why not have a guy clocking everyone to get books on top end speed?
Anyway, enough of this - I will leave it at that.
