I might not be in the same "thought" arena since you mentioned exit speed and velo but...

We, on occasion, do various run times... 60, home to 1st, home to 2nd.  Of course there is C pop time.  We time OF transfer/throw by setting up a square screen at about 150', hit fly balls/ground balls and time touch of glove to touch of net.  Same can be done with IF by rolling to desired location and timing glove to 1b glove.  We set up cones and track degree of success with hitting oppo, up the middle, bunts thru cones.

We time various cone drills (speed & agility) during winter workouts.  

If not just measuring individuals, we time groups on around-the-horn and 4-man straight relays back and forth.  

Can you explain the layout of the outfield transfer / throw release with the screen more?  I understand the concept but where do you put the players, where exactly is the screen, do they have a "line" they have to stay behind? I'm having a hard time picturing how you lay this out.

What you and Ironhorse have put is awesome stuff.  I'm going to steal.....borrow it.
