I know there are a million variables when a ball is hit: speed of pitch, length and speed of bat, altitude, temperature, spin on ball, where on the bat you hit it, angle of the swing, etc......
I am trying to dumb that down but don't know if that is possible. What I really want is some webpage that does this for me but I don't think that is out there. Assuming every variable mentioned above is the same and ideal, except the bat size and bat speed, is there a way to figure out the following with a formula?
Say my daughter swings 63 mph with a 32/22 bat.
If she switches to a 33/23 bat and swings 60 mph, should I expect the ball to go further on a 50 mph pitch down the middle of the plate?
If the above can be calculated, then figuring out bat speed needed to hit a home run would be doable.
I know taking BP could answer which bat hits further pretty easily, but I am trying to figure out if mathematically it can be done. I have seen it listed on baseball sites that every mph increase in speed will make the ball go x feet further, so I think what I am asking for can be done.
