No they wouldn't be in sprinting position . If they have a history running bases maybe

I've seen jeter at 38 beat out routine ground balls

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

an elite speed skill position player in the NFL would be a world class Olympic sprinter to first base.

Bo Jackson's first major league hit was a grounder to 2nd base.

True story.

speed is speed

you wouldn't need a sprinter

but you'd need a baseball player who actually cared about not being like prince fielder

Edit: athletically of course...smh at dudes having a no conditioning clause in their contracts

Most soccer players would be power hitters, but would run the bases like speedsters.

Brehs these guys are fast at there sport not fast in uniform. rememer James Jett hell the Radiers WR's from the 90's and late 80's? Fast but couldn't run routes or get open.

I doubt it, there's a big difference in coming out of sprinters position to swinging a bat and then running

Most soccer players would be power hitters, but would run the bases like speedsters.
