Speed is important!
If you're serious about playing at a high level you must work on your foot speed.
Contrary to conventional wisdom, all players can train to run faster.
The top two categories pro baseball scouts evaluate are the 60 yard dash and your home-to-first speed.
Home to first speed is timed from the hitters contact with the ball to the time his foot touches first base.
Below is a typical scout/organization 2/8 point grading system. 8 being the highest, 2 the lowest.
Not included is the scouts own 'projection' of future ability.
Home To First (Right Side):
· 8: 4.0 seconds
· 7: 4.1 seconds
