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.
Dude, I don’t know, but why don’t you start a quick League, as commish, not take control of any team, and edit a particular player to the highest speed.

Turn off storylines, trades, injuries, etc.

Do this and sim maybe 20 seasons real quickly. Then do four or five more. See what his BA is for his career.

Then do it without the edit a similar number of times.

Question answered.
