The MLB's bat-tracking data shows that Shohei Ohtani's swing generates the most bat speed for the Dodgers, while Mookie Betts' swing squares up the most and Freddie Freeman's swing is the shortest.
The Broadly Applicable Tracking System, or BATS, is a small, lightweight tool that scientists use to track animal movements. It is shaped like a backpack and glued onto the back of a bat or other small animal. It contains GPS and wireless internet equipment that allow the scientists track the animal's movements. [1] [2]
The bat should be as tall as your hip when stood on the ground. The length may vary if you are a somewhat experienced batter and you know what length you like. This is just a general rule of thumb. 2. Gripping the bat. The grip the batter uses is important because it allows for the best bat speed and hand quickness as possible.
The species has been measured at a ground speed of 160 km/h (99 mph), measured by an aircraft tracking device. [27] The measurement methodology did not simultaneously record wind speed and ground speed, so the observations could have been affected by strong local gusts, and the bat's maximum air speed remains uncertain.

Giancarlo Stanton held the MLB record for highest exit velocity at 122.2 miles per hour (196.7 km/h) from 2015 to 2022. In baseball statistics, exit velocity (EV) is the estimated speed at which a batted ball is travelling as it is coming off the player's bat.
This can be used to estimate the speed of a flying bat or to identify bats which are echolocating while roosting. A bat call from a bat approaching or departing at 6.8 metres per second (15 mph) calling at 50 kHz will typically show a doppler shift of +- 1 kHz and pro rats. This can cause uncertainty with some species such as Pipistrelles.

The fastest animal in flapping horizontal flight may be the Mexican free-tailed bat, said to attain about 160 kilometres per hour (99 mph) based on ground speed by an aircraft tracking device; [24] that measurement does not separate any contribution from wind speed, so the observations could be caused by strong tailwinds. [25] Slowest.
