Ignoring how that's physically impossible to do, who in your mind does this?
Taking this one step further, you are trying to apply this to people in baseball. You're right that managers and players know if a ball was hit hard. Fans don't always know that. And they don't always understand why someone's 0-5 wasn't cause for concern.
Hit velocity is another metric. Another way to view the beauty of everything in baseball.
Here's a better question than the first one since your answer would be ridiculous anyway (hint: no one watches every inning of every game):
If you love baseball so much, why do you want less information about the game than more?
