EA Sports, who work officially with the Premier League, meticulously record every minute of every single Premier League game. They track every player for every second they are on the pitch, and their research shows that no-one has run faster than Jagielka this season.
The Everton defender hit a top speed of 35.99kmh against Leicester on the opening day of the season in August.
He just pips a man he played against on that day, Ritchie De Laet, another defender, to first place.
There are in fact four defenders on the list, with Aston Villa's Alan Hutton and West Ham's Joey O'Brien also featuring.
Surprisingly, Swansea's Nathan Dyer is the only winger in the top 10.
