The 60-yard dash is a sprint covering 60 yards (54.86 m). It is primarily run to evaluate the speed and acceleration of American Major League Baseball players. It is also often used to evaluate the speed of American Football (especially NFL) players (although the 40-yard dash is much more common in Football).[1]
