It's almost as thought the concept of exit velocity has personally wronged you in some way.
I really don't understand what you're trying to argue here.
Exit velocity is information that people find useful and can be applied in useful ways. There's really not a debate here. Comparing it to actual events on the field captured by conventional stats is basically a strawman argument.
Are you against radar guns, too? After all, we can use our eyes to see who throws hard.
