Fastest Sprint Speed in MLB 2025

Trea Turner led MLB in sprint speed in 2025 at 30.3 ft/s. The top three were Trea Turner, Byron Buxton, Victor Scott II, based on Statcast data from Baseball Savant.

Sprint speed is Statcast's measurement of a player's feet-per-second on their fastest competitive runs of the season, typically drawn from the 2nd-gear portion of a sprint (peak speed, not acceleration). League average is around 27.0 ft/sec; elite burners clear 30. Because it's a physical-peak measurement, sprint speed is remarkably stable year-over-year until age-related decline sets in around 30.

Why sprint speed matters

Sprint speed is the best single proxy for range in the outfield, stolen-base ceiling, and infield-hit rate. Players topping this leaderboard are almost always premium defensive center fielders, shortstops, or base-stealing threats — the athletes who change games without swinging the bat.
