I believe comparing grown men hitting a baseball with a 33 oz. bat and a 10 year old girl hitting a softball with a 18 oz bat is wrong. Let's say a grown man swings a 30 oz bat 30 mph at a basketball traveling 40 mph and a 10 year old girl does the same. The grip would matter.
If they both hit it exactly on the sweet spot and have the same bat speed, it won't matter in terms of ball flight. If they have the same bat speed but hit it off the sweet spot it will. If you are contending the first sentence then you have to give a reason, backed by actual concrete data, as both physical experiment (with controlled variables) and theory say otherwise.
