Statcast just revealed its bat tracking metrics, which include average swing speed and length, the percentage of swings that are squared up, and even the number of “swords” each player has. Boog Sciambi already noted this during Saturday’s broadcast, but you probably could have guessed anyway that Christopher Morel swings harder and longer — feel free to run with that however you see fit — than any of his teammates.
Morel’s average bat speed of 76.7 mph — taken from the top 90% of swings — is well ahead of Ian Happ‘s 72.
