The article is drastically underestimating how far Superman can hit a baseball. The trick is to not swing the bat like a human. Instead, Superman should hold the bat orthogonal to the pitcher and have the ball make contact with the bat as soon as possible. Then, using his skill and reflexes, he can gradually decelerate the ball towards the back arc of his modified swing. All the while holding the bat orthogonal to the pitcher. He is essentially catching the ball with the bat, which you can with super speed and reflexes. He then will "swing" the bat forward, now smoothly imparting the maximum force both the ball and bat can deliver. Still keeping it orthogonal to the pitcher. Basically, because the contact time is longer, more delta-v can be applied to the ball. With a smooth enough increase in the loading, it may be possible to exceed the conventional burst strength of the baseball.
