What do those percentile numbers measure? 1 base speed, 2 base speed? Is Ruiz a more aware runner?

To me Ruiz seems slimmed down and quicker this year.   I noticed it on opening day when he covered a lot of ground on those pop ups on Opening Day.    So it will be interesting to see whether the 2021 Statcast data backs up my impression, when it’s available.

Sprint speeds compared to major league players. 

I guess there are some other factors to consider. Maybe Hyde likes the jump Ruiz gets, maybe Ruiz is better at sliding? Not saying Hyde was right but sports seldom seem to be a straight speed question, DK Metcalf notwithstanding.
