That's more based on his recent MLB and high minors performance where he doesn't run much but is pretty efficient when he does.
The speed and baserunning ratings would probably flip if we were taking into greater account his earlier minorleague career, when he was stealing a lot of bases but at poor efficiency but based on his recent performances at the higher levels, those ratings are pretty spot on.

All makes sense to me!
And yes, other tricky thing is sorting out, as a new OOTP'er, what Speed means in the game. It makes sense to me that he is a guy who can get to his speed on the base paths (hence the higher baserunning rating) but given that he has not been shown much ability to often steal bases at the big league level (though his approx. 77% success rate is solid) his speed rating would need to be a bit lower than perhaps his actual straight-line sprint stats might suggest.
