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

2020dad

I would say exit velocity is actually a huge part of evaluation. Like you said low speeds are a death sentence for hitters. While high bat speeds don't guarantee success it gives you a lot of raw ability to work with. And the truth is most kids with high bat speeds are also really good hitters. And while there are enough bad pitchers out there to let even slow bat speeds succeed when push comes to shove and you are facing a quality pitcher those low bat speeds disappear. I think a lot of people want to trash the measurables rather than embracing them and then finding a way to improve them.
