Bat speeds - comparing genders ?

Hi All,

I would like to ask a question concerning the difference in bat speeds with comparing males and females. I would think that there are always difference from one individual to another but if the gender is added in then the differences may be even greater.

So if you have information (personal experience or the written word) about the comparison between boys and girls assuming they both have dedication, high work ethic, good mechanics (power mechanics, not the FP contact mentality) and have matured age wise (lets say latter high school or college) and are athletic.

***** And *****

Consider the fact that a boy swings a wooden bat usually a few ounces lighter than the length and girls swing a bat that is significantly a few ounces lighter than the length.


What are the comparable differences (if any) in batspeed between males and females ?
