Batter A will likely hit the ball a greater distance than Batter B because swinging the bat from a resting position on his shoulder allows for maximum acceleration and rotational force generated through his whole body, resulting in a more powerful and effective swing compared to Batter B, who is limited by having the bat already positioned behind the ball. This full-body motion in Batter A’s swing enhances both speed and energy transferred to the ball at impact, contributing to a longer hit.
