Q:

How can bat speed metrics from Baseball Savant improve a player′s performance analysis?

I have been trying to improve my baseball performance by focusing on traditional metrics like batting average and RBIs, but I haven′t seen significant improvement in my game. Recently, I heard about bat speed metrics available on Baseball Savant. How can analyzing these metrics help me enhance my overall performance? Specifically, what insights can I gain from bat speed data that might be missing from more conventional statistics?
