HR/9 in theory battles power, which all my playtesting confirms only effects bat exit velocity ceilings.
Now I can never be %100 sure based on my playtesting alone, but I have done a massive amount of it. All of my results indicate that attributes (batter vs pitcher) get the ball off the bat. The rest is just physics from that point on. So assuming my testing results are true, there is no attribute that dictates the probability of a homerun being hit.
Unless HR/9 impacts launch angles as well, removing its ability to limit bat exit velocity ceilings makes it do nothing.
This reeks of a quick online fix that screws over the offline crowd.
