How was Osuna's velocity yesterday?

What a job by Barnes!
-
JD......so damn elite.
-
Perhaps but can Molina do this?
-
Prince Fielder...though dad was a doughboy as well.
-
lol........these guys miss KK
-
Not sure how many home runs he hit that were 400-440ft. If they all went 10% further then they would be warning track shots. Interesting exercise....a lot of variables. And sometimes we just get this ( the universe unfolds as it should).....
-
Perhaps somewhere in between? Perhaps the ball was juiced in the 90's.
-
I recall that they calculated 10% more distance from 3% increase in bat speed. Sounds high but because the batter has faster reaction time, gets better wood on the ball etc. the effects are huge.
-
Well bat speed shouldnt increase the further a player gets out of his prime years (see Barry Bonds). We have pitch velocity and homerun distance plus factor in bat weight and factor in some coefficients.....some tall foreheads can give you batspeed.
-
Thats why my original post said...
-
For further reading check out The Physics of Baseball by Prof Robert Adair (chapter 6 is about bat weight, bat speed and presents in precis form the where the up to 5% number comes from. https://www.amazon.ca/Physics-Baseball-Revised-Updated-Expanded/dp/0060084367 ....only if you like math, science and unsupported theories.
-
It was also published in the Baseball Research Journal a year later in 2009.
-
The article was published in the American journal of Physics in 2008....a peer reviewed publication. I have the copy in my basement somewhere and you're tempting me to go on a scavenger hunt. Where do you get the it is not supported by actual data? just math?
