Episode Notes
In this episode of the Driveline podcast, Connor White, Jack Lambert, and Tanner Stokey discuss the science of bat speed. They explain how increasing bat speed directly impacts exit velocity and distance, using insights from Driveline's research and MLB data. They go over effective training methods, why raw speed isn't always enough, and the importance of optimizing for game-usable speed by swinging at 90-95% of peak capacity.
