Hi Lady Knights

Welcome to the site. – The short answer to your question is “ no,” the body moving forward at roughly 6 mph does not add more batspeed, created by additional torque.

After we have completed this thread regarding “Momentum – Pitching vs Hitting,” I will address your topic in more detail. The foundation for the discussion has already been laid out in the below thread.
