We talk about bat speed as well as the baseball's exit velocity extensively in our articles. If you are a position player and want to play college or professional baseball, hitting is a MUST (unless you are Omar Vizquel). The saying "If you can hit, you do not sit," very much holds true because even if you lack a bit of defensive ability, we can find a spot on the field for you.
