Speed Ratings

[Jros22]

SCEA is doing a good job updating the players ratings each week but i think they need to do something with a lot of players that are known speedsters or players that we know have good or decent speed and yet they haven't been updated and have low or inaccurate speed ratings. I know speed is one of the toughest ratings to get right, you shouldn't use Stolen Base numbers for speed ratings because theres a lot of factors that impact SB opportunities/success (Spot in the order, player ability to read pitchers etc) for example: Since Mike Trout was moved to the 3rd spot his SB numbers have gone way down not because he is slower but because as a #3 hitter a lot of times he is going to bat in the first inning with 2 outs, another is you can't risk being thrown out with Pujols batting.

I have updated some players based on my knowledge, scouting reports etc, they are not going to be perfect but i feel that they are better, I will be editing this post and continue to add players to the list.

All the ones you mentioned are not bad rated except for Ian Desmond which i think is at least a 75 runner and is 67 in the game.

The person most in need of an speed upgrade is Kevin Kiermaier. Despite being considered one of the fastest players in all of baseball and the amount of range he covers in Cf, he only has a rating of 56 for his speed. Truly an injustice! LOL

He was already updated by SCEA, they gave him 96 speed.

No, not in their weekly roster updates. OSFM updated his speed in their roster, but as of the 8/3 official SCEA update, his speed is still a 56.

My bad you are right, i will write it on my post.

SCEA Updated today Kiermaier's speed to 74 and Michael Taylor's to 75, not where they should be but at least they addressed it and assigned a acceptable rating.
