Does strength produce batspeed?

Posted by: David Vlink (davidtvlink@HOTMAIL.COM) on Tue Apr 6 08:37:36 2004

I was wondering why baseball players would feel the need to take steroids. By taking them and becoming stronger would that make them swing faster? Or would the added strength backup the speed they already have with more power? Basically what I am asking is batspeed the only thing that determines how far a ball will go and do steroids improve batspeed?
