Speed was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 3rd round of the 1969 amateur draft. He made his major league debut as a pinch runner for catcher Dave Rader on April 10, 1975, as the Giants defeated the San Diego Padres 2 - 0. He signed as a Free Agent with the Cleveland Indians on December 7, 1977, and had his most productive major league season with the team in 1978, appearing in 70 games.
Speed made his final major league appearance, again as a pinch runner (for Cliff Johnson), on June 26, 1979, in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
