You can Youtube the 1971 World Series and see, how at age 37, Clemente's arm was like a cannon.
No matter what season I start a new game 1955-1970, His over defense is lower than other players, and his arm is never rated an 80.
His baserunning speed is inaccurate as Clemente had track like speed.
Willie Mays running speed is also confusing. He also had track like speed. There are other older player's I have questions on. I figured I would start here.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.

I honestly don't get how Speed and baserunning are calculated.
It is crazy that Clemente Speed in 1966 is 21, and baserunning a 39
He was not a big base stealer but he was NOT a truck....
Joe Morgan rookie year speed is 56, lower that 12 years later...i guess he learned to run faster
I and likely everyone can go on...
There has to be some qualitative subjective analysis applied rather than random numbers generated
