In OOTP, speed actually has nothing to do with range. They may be tied together from a player creation stand point, but not from a simulation standpoint.

Take a CF with 80 range and 20 speed, and he will cover just as much ground as a player with 80 range and 80 speed.

Speed is only a factor on the base paths.
