All other things equal as in the same player with an average exit velo of 86 versus that exact same player with average exit velo of 96. If the guy can play, it seems like it would be a significant difference and seriously boost stock as a prospect. Is that line of thinking not correct?

As Ironhorse stated, all other things are NEVER equal. The player with the best exit velo on the HS team I coach can't stay on a curve ball. So, his high exit velo does not seriously boost his stock as a prospect. It's a good thing but, SO many other things.

I take it you are comparing yourself to another player? If so, don't. Compare yourself to the best self you can be in all phases of the game and work to get there. Ask why that 96 isn't getting you more of what you want and work to get it.
