Some of those numbers dont make sense to me.
Bat speed 71.8 Exit speed 67
63.4 70
84 73
65.8 73
How can an 84 mph bat speed end up with the same exit speed as a 65.8 mph bat speed?
Hitting it off the handle?

I believe the ball is on a tee.Hitting it off the handle?
After reviewing more of ODM numbers and comparing bat speed with exit speed most seem to be somewhat believable. But I think there was some operator error in some cases. The bat speed numbers taken with a Blast Motion device probably was set up (bat weight and length) incorrectly sometimes resulting in wrong bat speed numbers with some of the players tested. Exit speeds should be only slightly lower of higher than bat speeds.Put me in the camp that believes that for a select few 90 mph exit speeds are attainable for a female.
The link below is to On Deck Measurables. On Deck keeps metrics for high school level age players. Exit velo, running metrics, overhand throwing velo, etc. 80+ mph exit velocity for a high school aged player is very good!
Pretty good link below if you are curious about metrics. You can search metrics by graduation year.

I don't know how they determine bat speed. Personally, I think bat speed is a pretty useless metric. All one needs to know is a players Exit Velocity.After reviewing more of ODM numbers and comparing bat speed with exit speed most seem to be somewhat believable.

Just to be clear, dd is sub 3 seconds. No need to split hairs. Not 2.5. No way no how. THERE IS, however, a piece of paper in a file cabinet somewhere that says she is. And it doesn’t matter. Not even if it was put into a spreadsheet and published online.
