Using the track analogy lets pretend we have two trackers going against each other. In 20 meter dash what if one guy consistently gets a 0.3 second head start against the other? That ALONE is enough to decide the race.
What if that same guy gets to run 15 meters as opposed to 20?
What if that same guy also get to run a STRAIGHT 15 meters as opposed to the other guy that gets to run 20 meters at an angle?
Also what if the first fielder was standing within 10 meters of the goal line in the first place while the second fielder was standing 20 away?
And if a fielder MISreads a ball? Game over. A Sumo Wrestler is going to get to the ball before a track star does if he reads the ball on point. Well not that far, but I think I'm getting the point across.
In the big leagues nobody that isn't fleet-footed is playing in CF. What seperates them defensively is skill, skill, skill. The marginal differences in speed matter much less in comparison.
