He is a freak of nature in baseball. He is also going to be a starting pitcher. A modern day babe Ruth.

Except Babe Ruth never had this kind of speed.

Babe Ruth ate too many hot dogs and drank a lot. Imagine him with modern nutrition. And he lifted weights. It wouldn't surprise me if he'll be able to steal bases back then. Maybe 30-40 stolen bases a year.
