93 mph exit velo.
Force plates on the same swings: he loads the rear foot to about 94–100% and keeps that pressure centered under the mid-foot, not stuck on the toe. Hands stay back while the front foot reaches. By the time the barrel starts, pressure is already on the lead side. At contact he’s about 68% lead / 32% rear, then he posts the finish at 97–100% on a tight lead-foot center of pressure. Rear foot unloads. He does not spin off.
That is the right order for a big right-handed corner bat. Land, then swing, then hold the block. One thing to tighten: mid-stride the pressure washes back toward even for a beat before it locks forward again. One decisive move into the front side, instead of that regroup, is how this 93 starts showing up more often and how the top end moves.
Big body. Real force. Sequence is ahead of the number.
