Yeah I just calculated it out and the bat speed would have to be around 5 mph to get and exit velo of 93 on a 98 mph heater lmao I knew taking that physics course would come in handy one day
Then you did the problem wrong. The pitch speed in the equation must start out as negative exit velocity vector since it is coming toward to batter.
Nope did it right. The exit velo coefficient for a "perfect barrel" in warm conditions is between 0.1 and 0.2 so I used 0.15... The equation was coffitient*pitch Speed + (1+coeffitient)*batspeed at Impact.
That is right. So your math is wrong. It comes out to about 62 mph bat speed if the coefficient is 0.2, which is what it is for a normal wood bat. You also have to take into account that a 99 mph pitch will be about 90 mph when it reaches the plate. Try the math again, maybe I am wrong.

Exit Velo = 93 = (0.2)(90) + (1+0.2)(bat speed)
93= 18 + 1.2(bat speed)
75= 1.2 (bat speed)
bat speed = 62.5 mph -

My mistake my answer was 65 mph but I accidentally put 5. 62 mph and 65 is the same because of sig figs so we agree haha

I’m not down with the physics, so I apologise for this question. Was it just determined that a negative exit velocity (less than the pitch speed) is possible on perfect/perfect, or something like that?
If so, well done! Does that mean that the game doesn’t need a correction after all?
