Fastest Oriole in recent years?

[Cheese Oriole]

Granted that it was with two outs, but David Lough didn't even draw a throw home when he tied the game at 6. When he was about to cross the plate, the ball was still with the cutoff guy in shallow LF. As someone mentioned previously, that's why he's on the team.

Was Felix Pie faster when he was with us?

I think I'd vote for Corey Patterson. That guy could fly.

Depending on how far back we are going it would be Jeffery Hammonds if healthy when he came up early on.

Yes. And Lough is close.

Man, I was a huge fan of that guy. Such enormous potential, but so much trouble staying healthy. But he hung on for a while and made some good money playing, so in the long run, good for him.

That's what speed does. Didn't Buck say Lough time to first base is the fastest he has seen?

Yeah he was my favorite player when he came up. He was a huge case stealer at Stanford but with his knee issues didn't get to see him as that in Baltimore. I believe in High School he ran a 4.3 40 yard dash.

Yeah Nolan reimold when healthy use to be the fastest to first a few years ago in all of baseball.

[joedogg9999]

I remember Reimold being awfully fast

[O's84]

Wieters.

But seriously, I would go with Corey Patterson.

[bpilktree]

Curtis Goodwin was very fast as well. I think lot depends if you taking fast or quick. Many times a base stealer has to be more quick then fast. The key to stealing a base for anyone with speed is reading the pitcher and then accelerating quickly. Most of the top base stealers were not the fastest guys but got a great first few steps.

Corey Patterson was the fastest Oriole ever.

I don't know...Larry Sheets might disagree with that.

[bpilktree]

Wieters.

I wonder if Wieters is in the top 3 for slowest Oriole.

.

Felix Pie.

For right handed batters maybe. Lefties have an innate advantage in getting to first.
