Mr. Hustle didn't say it was "above average" He said UK coaches look for 6.6-6.8 and that Shep's is 6.67.

From speedendurance.com on the subject of baseball 60-yard times in the MLB:

Most Major League Baseball (MLB) clubs look for times under 7.00 seconds. A 60 yard dash time between 6.7 – 6.9 usually equate to an average runner on the playing field.

In 2006, 189 different players were timed for 60 yards at the Puma All-American Event in Tuscon, AZ. Only 14 players were timed at 6.99 or faster (or about 7.5% who showed up for the test).

From Yardbarker.com (in association with foxsports.com) on the subject on Yankee 60 times:

The average MLB 60-yard time is about 6.8-7.0 seconds. Brett Gardner (College Freshman): 6.6 Derek Jeter (High School) 6.6 Greg Golson (High School) 6.4 Curtis Granderson (High School) 6.6 Slade Heathcott (High School) 6.7 Jamie Hoffman (College) 6.65 Austin Romine (High School) 6.7 Alex Rodriguez (High School) 6.5 I’m pretty positive Jeter can’t run a 6.6 anymore, and Alex can’t run a 6.5 (assumptions of course). But I wouldn’t be surprised if Gardner can run around a 6.3 by now.

So as you can see, if a 6.67 isn't above average then I'm not sure what is.


A 6.67 is absolutely booking it. I haven't seen him sprint really in a while so I can't say that it isn't true, but I have my doubts. My point is that if true, it is very above average.
