Anyone out there with 12-14 year olds have some bat speed statistics? My lightweight (75-85 lb) kids are swinging between 40-55 MPH, which seems pretty slow up against the 60-75 MPH pitching they are now seeing. The are still working on their mechanics, so I expect to see improvement soon.

Here is some info that was posted on the Setpro Site:
Bat speed numbers. Age/Average/Good/Excellant/Ave Bat Weight:
(Average speed/bat weight is for "non swing trained player")
8/35/43/55/16
9/38/47/60/18
10/42/51/63/20
11/45/55/70/21
12/48/60/77/23
A ball hit with a 50 MPH bat speed,
22 ounce bat, 50 MPH pitch is about a 200' drive
if hit square with a slight upper cut.
