WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, IF A SCOUT SHOWS UP THEY ARE GOING TO WANT TO SEE YOU CRUSH BALLS INTO THE TREES ON COMMAND.

Some say power and bat speed are the most important tools yet hardest to achieve. It is one of those unwritten things; just like the highly sought after 90-mph fastball for pitchers.

Hitting is no different. Have you noticed at showcases they are measuring exit velocity now? There is a certain number they are looking for; yes, it sucks, but it is just the direction the game is headed.

Yes, depending on age, position, and frame – there is a certain exit velocity number these college and professional scouts are looking for.

This could be the difference in getting that scholarship or check at the next level.
WHAT'S THE NUMBER???
Let’s find out.

Where does good exit velocity begin?

A rule of thumb– in the big leagues – once a ball exits 95 mph, the chances of it being a hit increases by almost 50%.

Just to put it more into perspective, here is a quick summary of all 2016 at-bats for several MLB players (Cabrera, Cano, Langoria, Murphy, Ortiz and Trout)
For just these 6 guys. The average exit velos for all base hits and extra base hits never go lower than 97mph.
Sure- a lot goes into it, pitch speeds, air pressure, seams on the balls, etc.
But when a scout shows up to your game. No matter what park you are at or what Mother Nature is up to- they are going to want to see you hitting balls into the stands.
Scientifically speaking, 92 mph is just about the minimum exit velocity required to hit a home run.

In the Statcast™ Era there have been 62 homers hit at exit velocities less than 92 mph — 62 out of 11,000. But all of those have been pulled or sliced down the line into the wind that barely land just beyond the wall.

TO FIND OUT MORE I DUG A LITTLE DEEPER AND FOUND OUT SCOUTS LOOK AT A “GIVE 1 TAKE 1” RULE OF THUMB.

This basically is speed vs power.

So as the ballplayer’s 60-yard dash increases- they want to see exit velo increase.

In other words – if you are a nasty short stop/center fielder who runs like a deer you may be able to get away with less pop.

However, if you are like me, a big slow corner outfielder/ first baseman you NEED to be able to feed the trees with baseballs on command!!
To see if my information holds any weight, I analyzed a large recruiting platform. I can’t give out their name, but they are one of the largest on the planet.

Back in 2018 this organization had over 200 high school junior and senior position players commit to Division 1 programs.

Exit velocities, 60 times, arm strength were all readily available by every kid in the organization.

I found an extremely interesting trend.

Out of 200 Division 1 signees, there was only 40 that ran a 60-yard dash over a 7.3.

Out of those 40 kids “slower end position players” they all had exit velocities from batting practice fastballs over 97 mph.

EVERY SINGLE KID!!!

Sure, these are the best-of-the-best, but it gives you an idea.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS

In order to play at the next level, you must achieve a certain exit velocity status. That status goes up if you are slow. Throughout thousands of hours of research, I’ve figured out THE numbers to aim for if your goal is to play D1 baseball or pro ball.

By senior year of high school, you should have the ability to hit baseballs at an exit velocity of at least 95 and up. Depending on how fast you are and your defensive skills you can add or subtract based on that.

I’ve found that the golden number for pro ball is the 100 mph club. Most big leaguers have the ability to hit baseballs with an exit velocity of at least 100mph. So, if your plan is to be a Big Leaguer that’s a number you should shoot for.
