SYNCRO ATHLETIC TESTING
60-YARD DASH
Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.
MAX RUN SPEED (MPH)
TRACKMAN
