Remember ratings (contact, power, eye) along with the pitcher ratings (and luck) determine stats. I am sure real life exit velocity (as of now anyway) is NOT used to determine the power rating.

Yes, I believe the indication has been that exit velocity is mostly (mostly!) cosmetic.
But the thing that Questdog was responding to was a mention that it might be like pitch velocity in that sense.
Like Questdog, I'm pretty sure that pitch velocity is not mostly cosmetic. It interacts in a very real way with pitch types and ratings to influence stuff ratings, at the least. It is a meaningful number, more so (at this point, anyway) than exit velocity.
