Part 4/6:
Testing the 33-inch bat again reinforced its status as a favorite among hitters. Notably, exit velocities continued to climb, reaching into the high 99 mph range. The observation here was that while control waned slightly as bat size increased, the trade-off was evident through greater power potential.
Beyond the Comfort Zone: The 33.5-Inch Bat
Finally, the exploration of the 33.5-inch bat was expected to elicit mixed results. Players typically use this size at a professional level, and the tests confirmed substantial exit velocities, even surpassing 99 mph. This outcome indicated that more mass can certainly equate to greater distance and exit speed for players capable of swinging it effectively.
