Re: bat velocity versus bat mass

The formula is: KE = 1/2(MV^2)

Note: Velocity is squared which means it plays a larger role in determining the force of the bat.

Of course a swing can not be reduced to a formula but assuming all things constant, velocity or speed of the bat is more important than mass.
