Does a fast batter get an extra base on the hit it is playing, or only fast runners already on base?

The designer confirmed that speed applies only to base runners, and the rulebook's Detailed Sequence of Play says a batter's speed does not change its first base.

Only runners. A batter always moves exactly the bases of the hit, whatever its speed, and speed matters only for base runners already on base. A runner placed by an earlier hit on the same card does take its speed bonus on a later hit, and a runner on second still advances on a single whatever the batter's speed.
