I'm not a physicist, but assuming they let go at contact they would go the same distance, but since they hold on to the bat there has to be something to which hitter
is able to withstand the force at impact. I have to believe the resistance offered by the hitter makes a difference in how far the ball goes. I'll use the example of a boxer. I'm
guessing that most fighters at a high level throw the punches at the same speed, but the ones who have more mass force behind them will do more damage.
I may be crazy but I see it often when a fast pitcher pitchers the weaker kids can't hold the bat strong enough at impact and you see a lot of weak grounders.
