does strength make a difference

Posted by: BMill (brumil2@hotmail.com) on Mon Dec 6 16:43:36 2004

Since nobody wanted to touch my steroid question posted 12/3 I'll try a different approach. Lets say we have two batters with the same bat speed and rotational type swings. One is bigger than the other and bench presses 100 lbs more. Will the bigger batter hit the ball farther? If so, why? Does the force he generates at bat contact make a difference even though the bat speeds are the same or exactly when does this increased strength help him?
