What is the WR for Baseball’s Inside-the-park Home Run?

October 29, 2015 by Jimson Lee Leave a Comment

What is the WR for Baseball’s Inside-the-park Home Run?

With the baseball season ending, it's fitting I write a short note about baseball and speed. Note that sometimes it is scored as a Triple AND an error.  But according to the rules, an inside-the-park home run is scored when: A player must touch all four bases (in the order of first, second and … [Read more...]

What do Monica Lewinski and Pete Rose have in common? Both made big mistakes several decades ago. For both, their transgressions offended the moral indignation of the self-styled pure of heart. Both have paid a huge price in the cruel marketplace of celebrity pundits and voyeurs. Both were guilty … [Read more...]

Stealing Second and Third Base: The Secret are in the Hands

February 22, 2011 by Jimson Lee Leave a Comment

Baseball and spring training is around the corner.  See my previous post on the 60 yard dash here and here. Adarian Barr was one of the first coaches to say that the hands were the most important aspect in setting a PB in the 100 meter sprint.  He was willing to help anyone who listened, … [Read more...]

Differences in Maximal Speed Running between Baseball Players and Sprinters

October 15, 2009 by Jimson Lee 1 Comment

With the World Series in full swing (no pun intended), I couldn’t help but notice how baseball players run “slightly different” than Track and Field sprinters. I’ve often argued that in a 40 yard dash test, technical changes are required just to cover the distance in 36.8 meters.  The starting … [Read more...]

Fastest Baseball “Inside Park Home Run” World Record

March 16, 2009 by Jimson Lee 9 Comments

Fastest Baseball “Inside Park Home Run” World Record

What's the fastest time for an "Inside the Park Home Run" in Baseball? I am referring to the time "around the bases" from home plate, touching all 3 bases, and crossing home plate again? First, we have to calculate the actual distance. 90 feet between bases, makes 360 feet or 120 yards of … [Read more...]

Baseball 60 Yard Dash – What’s a Good Time?

January 21, 2009 by Jimson Lee 142 Comments

60 yards is 54.864 meters, which is almost equivalent to the rarely held indoor 55 meter dash. The 60 meter dash is the indoor standard today. Please don't forget the crash mats! Why a 60 yard test for baseball? Everyone knows it's 90 feet between bases or 30 yards, so in theory, second base is … [Read more...]
