I agree it's the coach's decision -- and possibly his loss if that's a non-negotiable criteria. He could also make it mandatory to do 25 push-ups, 25 pull-ups and 100 sit-ups after running said mile. However, IMO, I would rather put the stop watch on home to first, home to second and first to home. Last time I looked, baseball players weren't running laps around the field during the game. Physical conditioning is no doubt critical in baseball these days, but running is just one way to measure it. I've had a lot of big-bomber first basemen, third basemen and catchers who couldn't run a sub-six minute mile if the police were chasing them, but I wouldn't have given up their hits and RBIs for anything.
