I actually think the power described, if given to an already All Star-caliber baseball player, would turn him into the most statistically valuable person in the game and dramatically increase his team’s effectiveness over 162 regular season games.
I like this choice.
Miguel Cabrera and Joey Votto are probably the best hitters in their respective leagues, but both are bad baserunners. They would have a lot to gain from Bolt speed even once per game.

It might work in rugby sevens with more room. Take this American sprinter - he was the 40th fastest 100m sprinter in the country - not enough to make the Olympic team, but really, really fast. Never having played the game before, he was given a crash course and a spot on the National Team for the World Championships.
This was the result.
Those aren’t second tier teams he’s playing against, either. It’s New Zealand and South Africa.
My, he’s fast. But in the end, how’d things work out for the USA? One swallow doesn’t make a summer.
Which doesn’t alter the fact that I’m off to watch this guy skinning entire defences single-handed one more time.
Can we grant this power to animals, like those frogs or ants that have to exit a ring of a given diameter?

Put him on New Zealand’s team and see what happens.
