Just adding to the bat speed conversation.

Showing bat speeds in college and younger ages, for women and men can be very similar.

I cannot keep track of the arguments in this thread. Can somebody post a review?

I gave up on that one… @ANNASDAD is on his own.

The OP now knows the avg bat speed for 13YO boys so I am going to say this thread was a success.

Speed rules. No spin rules. My girl girl has both and will beat your flame thrower. Show your cards breh. Baseball players are better than softball players. Big yellow balls are easier to hit. Big bats beat big yellow balls. Fast swings beat big yellow balls.

To say these threads go off on a tangent would be the understatement of the year.

Yeah, elite baseball swings, such as Mike Trout, measure near or above 100 MPH, and that's with a 34-31 bat. You won't find a female on this planet with a swing speed close to that.

To share to the bat speed conversation that was going on
I posted the average bat speeds of a comparison of college men/women and youth players because it is more commonly accurate than selecting one of the fastest bat speeds in the MLB and comparing it to the conversation.

Which then applies to the part of the conversation that was about reaction time.
my point, to hit the ball timing is timing regardless of what speed is being pitched. Or the distance is being pitched from.

What argument is this one supporting? @LEsoftballdad was making the case that most 13YO boys cannot hit 94 mph fastballs so it would make sense that most 14YO girls would have a hard time hitting a 65 mph fastball so I have a feeling sharing what you shared isn't supporting your view on that (which is typically that speed doesn't matter..)
