May 29, 2024 · If you swing the bat faster, you will hit the ball harder (nuts!). In fact, for every 1.0 mph of Bat Speed added enables a hitter to hit the ball +1.2 mph harder. Here’s a simple calculation: +1 mph of Bat Speed = +1.2 mph of Exit Velocity. +2 mph of Bat Speed = +2.4 mph of Exit Velocity. +3 mph of Bat Speed = +3.6 mph of Exit Velocity.

Let’s begin with a brief explanation of the basic physics of hitting a baseball, specifically what causes a baseball to come off the bat with a high exit velocity. These are the aspects that directly create exit velocityin a batted ball: 1. bat speed 2. mass of the bat 3. pitch speed 4. collision efficiency (hitting the ball on the sweet spot) All ...
Now, let’s get into the statistical relationships among bat speed, exit velocity, and productive hitting. We have established that bat speed is an important aspect of a high exit-velocity hit from a physics standpoint, but running some correlations on our in-gym hitters can give us a better idea on just how important. By revisiting the data used in...
Now that we have more clarity on the relationships among bat speed, exit velocity, and offensive production, let’s examine the implications of these findings on training productive hitters. In the data from our in-gym hitters mentioned above, there is a clear relationship between bat speed and exit velocity, and since exit velocity is one of the ma...
We know bat speed is an important tool in becoming an effective hitter and producing a batted ball with high exit velocity. Coaches must train hitters accordingly with the intent to swing the bat fast and make flush contact, train with some variability and use technology when available to pair the outcomes of bat speed and exit velocity to the hitt...

Nov 28, 2023 · The Pros and Cons of Bat Speed Training. This week, we’re talking about everything related to bat speed. I see people arguing online about the importance of bat speed, and you HAVE to have a higher bat speed to compete at the highest level. The other side seems to say it’s unimportant, and some of the best hitters don’t have a high bat speed.
Nov 13, 2018 · Nov 13, 2018. --. Bat speed is defined as the speed of the sweet spot or barrel of the bat at the moment of impact. It is a critical metric when evaluating and developing hitters.
Oct 23, 2022 · Bat speed is only one factor. Bat speed is one of the most important components of hitting for power. But by itself, it won't make you a good hitter. After all you can swing the bat a million miles per hour, but if you can't make contact it's still going to be a strike. Bat speed won't give you a good eye.
It is more important to focus on developing a more efficient and Powerful swing rather than training directly to Bat Speed. Bat Speed is a very important metric, but to increase Bat Speed in the appropriate way, the hitter needs to learn to swing more efficiently. By doing so, Bat Speed will improve as it is the result of the improvements in ...

Aug 21, 2023 · Bat speed, categorized as a scalar quantity, possesses magnitude but lacks direction. Unlike vector quantities such as velocity, which have both magnitude and direction, bat speed operates in a more straightforward manner. Kurt Hewes emphasizes the potential improvement if bat speed were a vector, with a clear direction parallel to the baseball’s trajectory.
