@UrzsProductions It depends on the day - not sure how it was this day, but there are times when the ball is all over the place.

dropping your barrel
and you have a long swing
you should fix that or you would have trouble hitting high pitchers and outer pitches

Thanks for the advice. We've been working on that. He knows what he needs to do (he got motivated by a replay of an A-Rod home run during the playoffs that showed his compact swing). But knowing what he needs to do and actually doing it are two different things. We're making progress.

Since we took this video we've used it to correct a few things on his swing, namely dipping the shoulder (though it rears it's ugly head now and then) and cocking the bat so it's angled more toward the catcher's feet as he begins his stride. While we were joking around while recording, it's a great tool for teaching. I recommend it highly (especially if you've got a motivated kid).

I appreciate your baseball knowledge - there are a few things to be work on with his swing. As for the math? Well, the plate is 45 to 47 feet from the machine. At 65 mph, the ball travels 47 feet in 0.49 seconds. For a ball to travel 60'6" in 0.49 seconds, it must move at 83.8 mph. If the plate is at 45 feet , the ball reaches home in 0.47 seconds. A ball must travel at 87.5 mph to cover 60'6" in the same time. Thus, the 83-87 mph equivalent in reaction time, if not velocity.
