A lot of big league catchers are in the 1.6s. Replay stolen base attempts on tivo next season and use a stopwatch yourself. I've timed plenty of times in the 1.6s.

Just yesterday on MLB Network, they showed 2004 ALCS Game 4 where Dave Roberts stole second in the 9th inning. Posada's pop was 1.61! and Roberts STILL MADE IT!!! It didn't help that Mariano Reviera was about 1.5 getting to the plate on that pitch but it still gives you a sense of Roberts' speed on the basepaths.
