My kid can hit >100 mph off a tee and it makes great dugout banter/braggadocio with the other daddy hacking knuckleheads, social media boasting but nada for his recruiting. Swing looks awful and I can make him wiff on flips in the cage with those daddy-crying hacks. Kid's soon to be college coach was pleased to see him make hard oppo contact on outside pitches. Imho if a batter can make consistent hard hit barrels when he/she is early and late, the EV/metrics will support they are outstanding hitters.

100% correct. You sir, are one of the few that has the horse in front of the cart. Coaches want to see consistent hard contact in game situations. If that occurs the numbers will follow. Players should be chasing game results - not numbers in a practice setting.
