Your statement...""Your bat has to start slowing down at some point.""

It does... once the top hand begins to roll over the bat starts to decelerate.

The top batspeed happens in the hitting zone which begins at around the front knee and finishes just beyond the front foot (depending on location of the pitch).

Swing a bat and listen for the swoosh sound the bat makes. It should happen out front in the contact area. If it happens before than it probably isn't a very loud swoosh sound meaning not much batspeed.

You also want that sound to be short... swoosh! Not swooooosh.
