I was thinking that the power end of it came when the bat hit the ball and "power" it over the fence, I didn't think about the power it would take to get the bat swinging in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-36019439600583404962009-02-11T06:53:00.000-06:002009-02-11T06:53:00.000-06:00I'm not much good at physics, but yes, I think it ...I'm not much good at physics, but yes, I think it does. If you have two identical pitches, contacting the bat identically perfectly squarely, but in one the bat is moving at 10 ft/sec, and in the other at 20 ft/sec, it seems like the latter ought to go farther, right?

But a thought comes to mind, home run kings are generally thought of to be "power hitters", but does it really take power to hit a home run or just a good eye with good timing to hit a round ball with a round bat...squarely?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-818120104790188682.post-20415727689071249692009-02-10T06:52:00.000-06:002009-02-10T06:52:00.000-06:00When you pay grown men bazillions of dollars to pl...When you pay grown men bazillions of dollars to play a children's game that's of no real consequence to anything, what do you THINK is going to happen?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
