I don't have the game, just going off of the screen shots. There are some between 75-90, Crisp is an 86 and Victorino is an 80, Heyward is an 83, Revere 84, Pagan 81.

Well, I still believe Puig should be higher than 68 for speed, perhaps something between 75 to 80.

They may have tweaked things that would have this make sense though. I'm not sure how fast Puig is in a vacuum, but he's right around Starlin Castro, Chris Young and DeJesus it looks like.

Considering speed has more influence in base stealing this year.....and Puig was thrown out nearly 50% of the time he tried to steal a base....I think they are generous. TBH...

Would speed not affect fielding and basepath speed though?

Of course...but I believe reaction is going to trump speed in fielding and ability in baserunning(with speed being top dog in steals)

Short tests....not nearly enough time and stability to the build we were working on in November to dig in.

That makes zero sense to me. Base running ability and speed are not necessarily the same thing. Stealing bases isn't necessarily the end all determination for speed. Juan Uribe stole 5 bases last year with a success rate of 100 percent, so want to make him faster than Puig?

It doesn't make sense, but that is how the game handles it from what Knight posted.

In the case of players with very small BS attempt numbers I doubt it affects much at all in the game. In the sim stats can you really get a player to consistently have around 5 attempts per year through rating adjustment?
