November 28, 20169 yr http://m.mlb.com/news/article/209343802/verlander-and-buxton-lead-2016-statcast-team/ I'm not sure what the value of some of this is, but I found it interesting. And the Buxton bit confirms the impression of him I got when I saw him play in the AFL a couple years ago. Watching him go from first to third was startling. He was visibly faster than anyone I have ever seen on a baseball field.
November 28, 20169 yr the nine fastest home-to-second times on doubles. The four fastest home-to-third times on triples and six of the top ten. The fastest inside the park time ever recorded by Statcast. Yea, pretty cool

If his bat progresses like it did after his last call up, he's going to rack up a ton of XBH.
November 28, 20169 yr I think Dansby Swanson had the second fastest inside the park HR this year, and it was about a full second slower than Buxton's. He sure is fun to watch, and I am really looking forward to seeing what he can do in 2017.
