This November 18th, 2002 study from Brown University Bioengineers concluded, "The average speed of a hit off the fastest bat, a metal model, was 93.3 mph; the average
off the slowest bat, a wooden model, was 86.1 mph. Only 2 percent of hits made with wooden bats exceeded 100 mph, while 37 percent of the hits with the
fastest metal bat more than 100 mph". These findings were published in the October 2002 issue of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise.
