Howdy again guys! Another question of mine is regarding exit speed. I was close enough at this most recent showcase, to watch that part of the workout. I saw them testing exit speeds in the cages. I saw swings that were mechanically poor, getting better exit speed ratings than swings that looked mechanically better, and with obviously better bat speed. My son was okay in this, but had slower exit speeds than some really poor looking swings, and obviously slower bat speeds. My question is: is there some technique involved in getting better readings on this test? Does it matter where the tee is in your stance? What else would cause some kids to do better, despite having poorer technique and less bat speed? Finally, How much do coaches look at that test? Not concerned, as this was a learning experience more than anything, and we are early in the process. However, if there is a method to the madness, I would like to know. Thanks!
