Modeling and Simulation of Baseball Sweet Spot

Abstract:

Two aspects in "sweet spot" choosing are defined: the furthest batted-ball displacement and the highest fine-territory probability. A model to determine the "sweet spot" position on the bat is developed based on physical mechanics and probability theory. Combing contributions of velocity resolution and Fuzzy distribution, a global fair-territory probability is synthetically determined. Simulation result of the "sweet spot" shows that the "sweet spot" goes around 14 cm from the end of the bat.
