Suppose "true-talent" (stable given an infinitely large sample) average exit velocity (AEV) on batted balls for all players is normally distributed with a mean of 87 mph and a standard deviation of 2.5 mph. For any sample of individual batted balls hit by one player, the standard deviation of exit velocity of those batted balls around this particular player's true-talent AEV is 9 mph. At this point in the season, Marco Masher has a total of 10 batted balls with an average exit velocity of 96 mph. Given only this information, the best estimate for his "true talent" exit velocity is closest to which whole number?
