I figured the force on the ball was pretty high, but didn't realize it was a peak of 4 tons. Pretty amazing a leather covered ball survives that.

Does physics tell us that acceleration of the barrel at impact is an important factor?

I don't think it matters at all. The collision is ao short that exerted force during contact doesn't matter much.

In fact jason ochart from driveline told me many high level hitters he measured peak batspeed slightly before contact and actually decelerate before contact.

Probably not ideal but doesn't prevent them from reaching 100+ mph of exit velo.
