It sounds like your definition of running speed is different than the developers definition. The developers could use a different choice of words like, “threat of stealing”, or something like that.
Of course Willie Mays, along with Mickey Mantle, were very fast but their role on their teams like you said for Mays in the 60s was not to steal bases. Since they were not a threat to steal, their threat rating (called running speed by the developers) is not as high as some other players.
If they actually do try to steal a base, then that result will be based on their stealing base rating. How often the try to steal will be based on their speed rating, if the team is controlled by the AI.
At least that is how I understand it.
