bat speed
Hitter's swing quickness
Bat speed is how fast a batter swings the bat through the hitting zone, measured in miles per hour.
Higher bat speed generates more power and gives hitters more time to read pitches before committing to swing.
It's a key metric in baseball and softball player evaluation: He's added ten miles per hour to his bat speed since last season.
