Bat Speed to Exit Velocity Calculator

Calculate Exit Velocity





Formula

To calculate the exit velocity:

\[ Ve = MF \times PS + (1 + MF) \times BS \]

What is Exit Velocity?

Exit velocity is the speed at which the ball leaves the bat after being hit. It is a crucial metric in baseball and softball, as it directly correlates with the distance the ball will travel. Higher exit velocities generally result in harder-hit balls and more extra-base hits.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Ve = 0.2 \times 90 + (1 + 0.2) \times 70 = 18 + 84 = 102 \, \text{mph} \]

The Exit Velocity is 102 mph.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ Ve = 0.2 \times 85 + (1 + 0.2) \times 75 = 17 + 90 = 107 \, \text{mph} \]

The Exit Velocity is 107 mph.
