correlation coefficient between bat speed and average exit velocity is .61 per my google sheet, so pretty strong relationship as we'd expect

Is bat speed alone indicative of anything? Doesn’t seem like it! But still!

Meanwhile, George Springer, Bo Bichette, and Vlad have combined for an 86 wRC+ atop the lineup.
