What is it?
The maximum speed of your hands during the swing.
Why is it Important?
Faster Hand Speed, along with faster bat rotation, leads to faster barrel speed which positively affects the ball exit velocity and distance a ball travels.
Faster Hand Speed will help the batter get the bat in the hitting zone sooner. But keep in mind, a bat that is too heavy, could potentially decrease hand speed.
DK TIP:
Max Hand Speed correlates with Trigger To Impact relative having excellent quickness and timing in the swing. This is necessary in order to make consistent, solid contact with the ball.
