Yeah Kucherak is gonna be a dude. Ball jumps off the bat.

Maybe 3rd base.

Mic Paul was 21-23 and Ruddell was 17-19 stealing bases.

Not sure about his 60 time but I recall seeing his 40 time as a 4.7. Don't remember where but it was likely from football recruiting on hudl or something like that.

I'm a little surprised that Guidry is faster than Paul.

Guidry is a good bit taller. Alot of times the shorter guys look way faster than they really are, and the taller guys are deceiving in the opposite direction.

I wonder who's the faster of Guidry and Kling.

Zeb can run. I think he's a 6.4-6.5. I also think Bingham can run. Pearson is another one of those guys, like Frey, that isn't really a burner but gets going really well at times. I think Pearson went 6.5ish as a high schooler.

ETA: Running the 40 and 60 are both somewhat of a skill. You definitely need to be fast to get a good time, but you can train for it. The same can be said for running bases. A somewhat slower player can get 1st to 3rd quicker than a "faster" player or steal a base more effectively through reads/fundamentals/etc.

I'd imagine a 4.7 for Frey at his size would translate into a pretty good 60 time. With his size it likely takes him a little bit to get going at the start. He may not be super fast, but for his size and power the speed will get him into plenty double situations and possibly be able to stretch some into triples that guys his size typically can't do.

Frey’s got those long strides to go with his unusual quickness for that size. Good combo

I know it’s the angle but Griffin looks like everyone’s big brother
