Harden is clearly a pretty good runner and much faster than the average pitcher. I was wondering, just how fast is he? Between Z/H/M, do the Cubs have the fastest three starters ever?

LOL....pretty strange topic. Probably damn near impossible to know the answer to your question.

For the "fastest ever" yes, it's probably not just impossible to find #1, but even to list a top 50. It's just feels remarkable that we have a top 3 that seems like it's a full 2 seconds faster two first base from home (were we to have a relay competition) than a lot of other teams.

 

for all the expansion of stats over the past few decades, the home to first speed of pitchers has been ignored (not without good reason, of course)

I have noticed that he is pretty quick to first base. I think he is fastest Cub pitcher.

I was wondering this as well- Harden does look fast.

 

Yeah, if we can get Shark in the starting rotation, then he would have to be one of the fastest starting pitchers around no doubt.

 

This should be an All-Star Game event, instead of the Home Run Derby and whatever else there is these days. Pitcher races, catcher high jump, and David Eckstein Shot Put could make an excellent triathlon to mark the ASB. You don't have to be Eckstein to participate, you just have to be white and small and suck. Plus also if we're lucky, Eckstein will pull every muscle in his body during the event and be forced to retire to his eventual spot in the GRIT HOF.

I never really thought of Z as pretty quick on his feet.

He definitely doesn't have wheels, but he hustles and runs out grounders which catches infielders off guard.
