Max Ferguson: career AAA player.

[mvp 78]

Braiden Ward challenged called third strike on 3-2 leads to a walk. 

Stolen base.

[mvp 78]

They must have updated his totals after yesterday's game because he's back down to 11.

Bunt inside the park HR?

[drewski6]

I heard that Ward cant actually run the bases at full speed and has to slow up while hes going around them because if he went at full speed, hes too fast for the human retina to register and nobody would even see/believe him that he already went all the way around and touched all 4 bags (if he ran at full speed).

Cespedes had the little league HR yesterday because of a guy that never plays LF.

I heard he is so fast that if he hits a line drive up the middle, he has to slow down or else the ball might strike him on the head as he rounds second base…

Can Ward be the first player in MLB history whose sprint speed is greater than his exit velocity?

Who is the fastest player in MLB right now? Victor Scott? Corbin Carroll? I assume its not Trea Turner anymore.

Actually, at 30.3 ft/sec, it was Trea Turner last year, just beating out Victor Scott, Bobby Witt Jr., and Byron Buxton, who tied at 30.2 ft/sec.

All numbers per StatCast.
