In his own opinion, no one will out-hustle him on sure outs. I suppose this is at least partially a reason for his infield hits being so high, the second being not making the same amount of good contact he made last year.

You have to respect the power potential of Pence and the others metioned, but they all have above average speed as well. I agree with that post.

Well, that was a long run-on sentence, but I think you get my meaning.
