I'm confused...no where in the excerpt does it mention that the sole purpose of training should be to develop batspeed. What it does say is that the main emphasis should be to develop mechanics which lead to maximum batspeed.

Bat speed = bat quickness. No one has ever explained how or why there is supposedly a difference, and until they do so there is no difference.The only people I ever hear talk about bat quickness are the linear folks. They think you can have bat quickness by bending the front elbow and taking hands straight to the ball. So they are being "quick" by trying to make up for lost time because they are going linear. If you use rotational mechanics you will increase bat quickness (therefore bat speed) because you will not have to correct for linear flaws.Another way of saying it is that top hand torque produces bat quickness (same as producing batspeed).
