Exit Velocity Calculator
3 min readUpdated July 15, 2026
Exit velocity is roughly bat speed × smash factor + a fraction of the pitch speed. Use the formulas below to estimate your potential.
The formula
Exit velo ≈ 1.23 × bat speed + 0.23 × pitch speed. So a 70 mph bat speed on an 80 mph pitch produces roughly 86 + 18 ≈ ~104 mph max exit velo, though real-world contact rarely hits max.
What smash factor tells you
Smash factor = exit velo / bat speed. Elite hitters average 1.4+. Below 1.2 indicates poor contact quality.
Frequently asked questions
Can I calculate exit velo without a sensor?+
You can estimate — but any real training plan needs measured data. A $99 Pocket Radar is worth the investment.
