The fact that the idea of “swinging the bat faster is better” is considered new age analytical thinking is insane. Gaining speed/power/force production has been beneficial for every athlete in every sport since the beginning of time. Pitchers who throw harder have higher ceilings, golfers who swing the club faster have higher ceilings, running backs who run faster have higher ceilings, basketball players who jump higher have higher ceilings etc. Does it mean that those who are bigger/faster/stronger will automatically be better? Of course not. Skill, mental makeup, competitive edge, preparation and a thousand other things all play a massive part in overall success, but the fact that being more physically explosive and producing more force gives you a greater chance for success has always and will always be true.

You need to move the bat fast if you want to hit the ball hard. According to math, this is how fast you need to be able to move the bat to reach these exit velocity thresholds.

Hitters getting after today with the @TheStackSystem bats! Getting that baseline for the upcoming season!
