Dude, I am not asking if speed is all I need. I'm asking if it has ANY tangible effect on batting average. Will a player with the SAME BABIP, POWER, EYE, AVOID K but a higher speed have a higher batting average than the other, or is it a complete non-factor?

The title is does running speed affect batting average. If you don't know, that's fine. Obviously I don't either. But don't give a patronizing answer that fails to provide any actual information. I'm not an MLB GM looking for pointers on how to evaluate prospects. I'm asking about the mechanics of a simulation engine.
