You tout HRs and give 3 examples, but 1 has 0 HRs and 1 has basically the exact amount as last year.?????
reflecting on this post. simply is pointing out facts that are given towards the statistics of the team. I did not read it as bashing at all.
one person hitting nearly 50% of the homeruns seems like you have a good hitter vs. minimal statistic change of entire team average which was pointed out by softball Guru.
to the point of bat speed- conversations have grown towards exit speed, how hard the ball is hit, being more important.
Skills testing clinics are measuring both bat speed and exit speed, are finding that bat speed faster does not always equate to exit speed. obviously poor mechanics would explain a week bat angle traveling through the Zone versus strong mechanics making solid contact.
so in other words just because someone has a fast bat speed doesn't mean they are having a good swing connecting solid result great exit speed.
Best of luck building your team!
