Enter a bat you've measured. See the predicted bat speed and exit velocity for each of the other drops. Lighter adds a little bat speed and gives back a little exit velo — the quickness benefit of going lighter is a separate thing this doesn't show.

How to read this. Exit velo doesn't rise on lighter bats — the small bat-speed gain never makes up for the lower effective mass, matching USA Baseball's own finding that lighter bats are easier to swing but don't produce higher hit-ball speed. The real reason to go lighter is getting to the ball quicker and controlling it, which isn't on this table.
