Set an artificial limit on simultaneous storage vMotions?

Hello, I was curious if there's a way to set an artificial limit on storage vMotions at the vCenter level rather than letting it choose based on network speed?  We're consolidating a bunch of spinning arrays to a flash array and the flash is so fast that we end up impacting performance too greatly on the old arrays if we let it start doing 4+ simultaneous vmotions, but at the same time, I don't want to have someone paid to sit and click migrate every couple minutes one vm at a time.  I was hoping to set it down to 1 simultaneous and then we can just queue up 50 migrations at a time.

Thanks!
