Conservation of momentum says otherwise -- the faster the ball is going, the more change in momentum it needs, the harder it needs to be hit.

  If you want a ball to bounce further off something, throw it harder.

    Yes for elastic shocks, but bat to ball is not an elastic hit (well, barely one, to the point where the physics you refer to don't matter).

  Or the farther the bast needs to bounce off th ball.
