I do not agree that bat speed alone will help you hit faster pitching. If your bat speed is for instance 70 mph (rather fast) and you compare that to a 45 mph bat speed (rather slow depending on the age or level of play) l'd bet that if you could measure the difference of how fast the bat get to contact somehow, that it would not enough of a difference to get the bat on the ball if the timing is off ever so slightly. I think that bat speed is important for the distance you can hit the ball but without the proper timing that would allow you to catch up to the faster pitching I think you are out of luck. Proper load toe touch and heal plant will allow you to catch up to any speed of pitching. Thats my two cents for whatever its worth.
