Exit Velocity & Bat Speed Calculator See where your hitter’s numbers land against published averages for the age.

Enter exit velocity, bat speed or both. You’ll see whether the number is below, inside or above the typical range for the age or level, and what actually moves it.

What these numbers mean (and what they don’t)

Exit velocity is how hard the ball comes off the bat. Bat speed is how fast the barrel is moving at contact. Bat speed is the engine; exit velocity is bat speed plus how squarely the hitter catches the ball.

Numbers are useful because they’re honest. But a hitter who hits it 75 off a tee and can’t get the barrel there on time against a live arm hasn’t solved hitting. That’s why AHD trains all four pillars: the swing, strength and explosiveness, the Hitting Processor, and the mental approach.

Published averages used by the calculator

Baseball age	Exit velo, live/BP avg	Exit velo, tee avg	Bat speed range
8–10	53 (age 10)	52 (age 10)	30–45
11–12	59 (age 12)	57 (age 12)	40–52
13–14	68 (age 14)	66 (age 14)	46–62
15–16	71–74	70–74	55–65
17–18	76 (age 17)	77 (age 17)	60–70
College	—	—	65–75

Fastpitch level	Exit velo, typical tee-max	Bat speed range
10–12U / recreational	35–50	32–46
12U–14U travel	45–60	38–52
High school JV	55–70	42–56
High school varsity	60–75	49–63
16U–18U travel	60–75	54–66
College	65–80	58–70

For fastpitch, exit velocity bands are by age (10–12, 13–14, 15–16, 17–18, college) and bat speed bands are by level, so the calculator pairs the closest of each.

Training guide

What it trains

Understanding your bat speed and exit velocity numbers against published averages for your age.

Who it’s for

Players and parents with a sensor or radar reading who want to know what it means and what moves it.

How to get better

Test the same way every time: same bat, same tee height, best of 5.
Strength and rotational power raise bat speed. So does a better swing.
Retest every 4 to 6 weeks, not every day.
Exit velocity also depends on squaring the ball up, not just swinging hard.

Questions

Is there a free exit velocity calculator by age?

Yes. This free exit velocity calculator and bat speed calculator compares your hitter’s numbers with published averages for the age or level (Rapsodo for baseball exit velocity, Blast Motion for bat speed and softball). Nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

What is a good exit velocity for my age?

In baseball, Rapsodo’s published live/BP averages are about 53 mph at age 10, 59 at 12, 68 at 14 and 76 at 17. In fastpitch, typical tee-max ranges run about 35–50 mph at 10–12 up to 65–80 mph in college. Enter your hitter’s number above to see where it lands.

What is a good bat speed by age?

Blast Motion’s baseball ranges run from about 30–45 mph at ages 8–10 to 60–70 mph for high school varsity and 65–75 mph in college. Softball ranges run from about 32–46 mph for recreational players to 58–70 mph in college.

Why are my hitter’s numbers different on different devices?

Radar guns, bat sensors and ball-tracking systems measure different things in different ways. Compare your hitter to themselves on the same device, same setup, over time.

How do you increase exit velocity and bat speed?

Build the athlete (lower-body force, rotational power, speed), keep a swing that squares the ball up, and test regularly. Swinging a lot more, by itself, rarely moves the numbers.
