Bat speed is a critical factor in hitting success in baseball, influencing both hitting power and distance. While traditional training methods focus on strength and swing mechanics, recent research suggests that the countermovement jump (CMJ) can be a valuable predictor of bat speed.

In the world of sports science, understanding the dose-response relationship is crucial for optimizing training programs and maximizing athletic performance. Dose-response refers to the relationship between the "dose" of training (e.g., sets, reps, intensity) and the "response" (e.g., strength gains, power development). By applying research-backed dose-response considerations, coaches and athletes can tailor training programs to achieve specific goals and avoid overtraining.
