Time Gunnar's triple

Do me a favor and time this, starting with contact until Gunnar hits 3B.   I've done it three times and came up with 10.73, 10.79 and 10.81 seconds.   Tell me what you get.   

So far as I'm aware, the fastest triples of the Statcast era were 10.75 seconds, by Bryan Buxton and Corbin Carroll.

I got 10.71 and then 10.71 again.

Using the time stamps on the video and estimating between when time changes between 3 and 4 & 14 and 15 I get about 14.5 minus 3.4 for around 11.1. I did it real quick just one time, though.

Edit:  Just did it again more careful, estimated 14.2-3.4 for a 10.8. Of course might be wasted time if CoC is correct with his post below.

10.80 the third time.

Gunnar’s acceleration is noticeably better this year. Top speed seems the same, but last year he took a bit more to get going.

10.8 (n=3). When I watched it real time I blurted out holy smokes!!!—-or something like that. Triples are inherently fun, but Gunnar’s are extra fun.

10.70 from the crack of the bat.

Masyn Winn went 1st to home in 8.66 seconds. Wheels!

If you have the game on DVR, you can time it accurately to 0.03 seconds by the "clicks" method (I am assuming the MASN broadcasts are in 1080i).  Is it contact to touch at 3rd base?

My 3 scores are 10.70, 10.77 and 10.73.

Yes, but I don’t have it on DVR.

Don't they speed up the highlights?  I think I remember that being a thing.

I was thinking the same thing. I remember someone mentioning that last year.

If this is true, that is wild malpractice. Not that the MLB.com is a journalistic institution, but folks read/watch their production as the record of what actually happened in any given baseball game.

It's highlights.  It isn't meant to be used as a scouting tool.

Maybe they could put a disclaimer somewhere.
