Why would mile times matter?
I agree.
I find it curious that mile times should be a primary versus a secondary concern. Certainly all players need to be able to play their positions effectively and to do this, they need to be in good condition, for the most part. And certainly all players should be expected to take strength and conditioning training seriously. But if they work hard and can play their position effectively and can hit the ball, why should their mile time matter?
I'm guessing if you hit like Lauren Chamberlain the mile time required is 1 second above whatever she runs. I could see the conditioning
coach telling HC that we should cut her because she ran mile too slow. I'm also guessing if you can hit the high 60's on your FB that again
how fast you run the mile might be a secondary consideration.
