Reply to "Question about Bat Speed (Tee Exit Velocity)"

Bat speed alone doesn't get the job done.  However, take Pujols or anyone else and subtract a good amount of bat speed from their norm and the results will not be as good.

 

Even though I disagreed with LABall when he stated bat speed means nothing.  What he mentioned at the end of his post is the most important thing.  And it is possible to have 100mph bat speed and still be a bad hitter.  Similar to a pitcher having a 100mph fastball yet not being a good pitcher.  However, having a 100 mph fastball tends to create a lot more opportunities than having 100mph bat speed.
