I'm just saying those are quantifiable and the answer is different for each. Stevenson has a faster 60. But Laird is faster home to first because of how he finishes his swing. They both get great jumps, but Laird takes better angles and has slightly more range.

That's the answer.

All I know is that they'll both be missed. They have a chance at anything in the air.

In this link both ran 6.55 60's in the fall of 2013. Pretty sure I read earlier this spring that Stephenson ran slighty faster than that. I think Laird is the better baserunner.

Oakland and Padres scouts told me Stevie.

Not according to the scouts I sit next to

Showed me his stop watch clocking them from home to first. Laird was 4.1 and Stevie was 3.9

I understand and agree. I was just curious what you thought were the answers to those.

FWIW I was also going to post something similar.

Laird is actually the 4th fastest on the team in terms of 60.

Fraley & Deichmann tested faster this fall.

Good question! Heard both sides...regardless BOTH are easily in the Top 10% Fastest percentile in college baseball...Fraley as well

Stevenson & Laird were good HS WR's with plenty of long TD's
