Bat head speed and acceleration model comparison

TRANSLATING technical information to practical application with coaches & players is important.


Especially with visualizations to improve “mental representations” (as described by Anders Ericcson in “Peak”).


This is a representation (on the right side) of a Major League Baseball swing path/plane in comparison to a model (on the left side) provided by Robert Adair in his book “The Physics of Baseball”.   The animated model shows a graph of bat head speed acceleration as well as an acceleration heat mat as the bat accelerates and decelerates during the swing.
