Over 12,000 hits in the Big Leagues this year registered 100 MPH or higher exit velocity.

 

Roughly 1/3 of those were Home Runs.

 

This does not include batted balls that were outs and foul balls.

 

We actually have all the stats, but I don't think we are allowed to publish or post them.

Having an exit velocity over 100mph on a pitched ball means more to some of these kids then some of us parents can imagine.  They feel just that little bit closer to the MLB players they admire, even if it is only for a minute.  

 

My son was just shy of 102mph at the 15u World Series this past summer, which isn't bad for a kid that was still 15 at the time.  Had several north of 94mph.  He was excited to see some of those balls, that he routinely hits hard be measured.

 

I know he has a plan to get even stronger over this winter, so we'll see what next year brings.

How many hits were less than 100mph?Does it show what the average hits exit velocity is? I know that's a big number just having a hard time putting it in perspective .

About 42,000 total hits in MLB this season.

 

P.S. since sulton mentioned the hitting the L screen thing...  I had posted this before on here but it is something crazy like a 30 degree launch angle produces a ball that is like 13 or 14 feet in from of the batter and into the top net.  A hit mr. Coach would no doubt tell his hitter in the cage would be a 'pop up'.  We need to spit the tobacco out and start researching as a group of coaches who want to get it right not just repeat what the good ole boys have said for years and years.  And by the way a higher number of those balls than you think that 'hit the back of the cage' would be outs.
