This is incorrect, unless you are assuming, "swinging harder" causes a less accurate swing, resulting in less power as opposed to hitting the, "sweet-spot" at a slightly slower speed.

But if we consider it scientifically, with all things equal with regards to bat (assuming the same bat), identical impact point, etc, with the only variable bat speed, then a faster swing would absolutely generate more power.

In reality, it is likely a trade-off, as swinging harder/faster can potentially produce a less accurate swing, resulting in a less optimal impact point on the bat itself. Then again, if one can generate better bat speed, it can buy perhaps another few feet of seeing the ball before having to complete the swing.

I don't care what kind of science u pull out. When I say swinging harder, I mean swinging as hard as u can, muscling up. A faster swing, quick swing generated by hands which creates bat speed, creates power. Fact. Baseball fact.

Eta. I re read your post. Yes faster bat speed will create more power. No question. But that isn't created by swinging harder.
