Max Barrel Speed	61.105 _mph 8/5/2017 MAX BARREL SPEED WHAT IS IT? The maximum speed of the sweet spot of the barrel of the bat during the swing. The sweet spot is 20% of the bat length from the tip of the bat. ON-FIELD IMPACT High bat speed produces high ball exit speed, so increasing your barrel speed is an important goal. Keep in mind that you need to “square up the ball” to maximize your ball exit speed.	58.97% Rank best 76.79 avg 59.89 (2021 class)
Impact Momentum	22.333 8/5/2017 IMPACT MOMENTUM WHAT IS IT? The momentum your bat has at impact. Impact momentum is a combination of the barrel speed at impact and the weight of the bat. ON-FIELD IMPACT Increasing your impact momentum directly translates to a higher ball exit velocity. Higher impact momentum means better potential for further hits and higher exit velocity.	59.00% Rank best 28.28 avg 21.90 (2021 class)
Max Acceleration	26.939 _g’s 8/5/2017 MAX ACCELERATION WHAT IS IT? The maximum acceleration the bat experiences during the swing, measured in “g’s”. To be clear, acceleration is not how fast the bat is moving; that’s barrel speed. Acceleration determines how quickly you can reach that top speed. ON-FIELD IMPACT More acceleration means that you can reach your max barrel speed quicker. Higher acceleration lets you wait a little longer before you decide to swing, and in some cases means that you can maintain higher bat speed for more of the swing.	40.94% Rank best 63.08 avg 28.52 (2021 class)
