Further, exit velocity reliably correlates with outcomes. It is usefully predictive. Believe it or not, high-speed cameras and computers outperform the eye test. By a lot! They catch things we don't, they catch them sooner, and they tell us stories about the future that are worth tens of millions of dollars to baseball franchises.
Wish I could thank this post 100 times.
