> My son is looking for an equation to figure out how fast a bat will need to be swung with a pitch speed of 90 mph, for a home run. Variables include: length of field and height of fence. I am assuming all other variables such as,weight of bat and rotational swing are not going to be factors.

Look in the Batspeed Research section to the left of the site. There might be something in there. I found this 'home run simulator' page somewhere where you pick the batspeed and angle of flight to see how far a bal will go. I can't remember where I found though. But I remember that a ball hit at a 35 degree angle travels the furthest. Good luck.
