Playing slo-pitch as an adult, we never put much stock in jumps compared to speed, 'cause it seemed like we all could read the hitter's swing and get into motion before the ball connected.
That's beer league. Which major league OF is not moving at the crack of the bat?
The best OF's in park-and-rec were simply the fastest ones, since we all jumped before connection and we all ran straight to the landing spot.
For us, saying that the best OF's were the fastest guys, was like saying the best rebounders are the tallest guys.

But there are a dozen interesting theoretical points here ... the debate will rage on, that's for sure :- )
