Yes....we finally found another topic to rival face masks/rise balls and illegal pitches.
Cannonball and Riseball, you two would have fun with the research links GM posted. If you get a chance, read some of it and look at the various videos, I think it will convince you.
That doesn't mean the weight room is not necessary, after all, you still need to get the bat going as fast as you can and that requires strength, the more the better.
It is good to know that the reason at 56 years old 6'-1" and 240 lbs that I have no problem hitting a ball on a tee 230ft and few if any of my players can do the same is my superior bat speed. I am sure the guys on the slow pitch field hitting the ball 350ft will be thrilled to know they swing faster than any women playing college softball. Show of hands. How many other coaches in this forum also swing faster the best in the womens game?
