There is a lot we can tell about a baseball players skills just from watching the game. For instance, its readily noticeable that Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton is blazing fast and that Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina can get the ball from his glove to second base in a hurry. But with the use of data collected by Baseball Info Solutions (BIS), we can objectively quantify the best skills in the game.With that, lets take a closer look at the best of the best this season:Home-to-first timeThe one time during a baseball game when you can come closest to clocking the true straight-line speed of a player is when he is running to first base. At other bases, he must change his path or slow down to round or stop on the base, and in the field he tends to veer around as he tries to judge where a ball will land. But running to first, he can run right through the bag. At BIS, we time baserunners in a variety of scenarios, one of which is home to first. And to ensure that we are getting a runners full effort, we stick to recording home-to-first times when the runner is trying to beat out a double-play ball. (Note: BIS also records home-to-first times on bunt-for-hit opportunities, but those often involve drag bunts from left-handed hitters, which effectively give them a head start.)For everyone that considers Hamilton the fastest man in baseball, well, the numbers below confirm that. His average time to first in grounded-into-double-play situations this season is five hundredths of a second faster than the next fastest guy, the Marlins Dee Gordon. That is the same as the difference between Gordon and the fifth fastest player, fellow Marlin Ichiro Suzuki. To put that into loose context, Hamilton is five hundredths of a second faster than the next fastest baseball player over 30 yards (the baseline is 90 feet). Usain Bolt won the 100-meter Olympic final (over three times the distance) by eight hundredths of a second over the second-place finisher. Granted, Bolt got a slow start out of the blocks, so the gap between him and the field in terms of pure speed is probably greater than that. But still, Hamilton may effectively be the Usain Bolt of baseball -- a generational speed talent. Melvin Gordon III Womens Jersey .
