You might be misunderstanding. Heywards power in real life is definitely legit. Hes a beast. That being said, power numbers that SCEA generates for all of their players are always much higher. My opinion is the reason for this is to make it a little easier for the casual gamer to hit homers with the premier guys when they play exhibition or whatnot. Whats affected most are the sim numbers which hardcore realism guys most always view as skewed. Sim some seasons and youll see what I mean. SCEA ratings generally generate a guy hitting 60, 5 or 6 guys hitting 50 plus, A lot more guys in the 40's and so on. Last year no one hit 50, 5 guys hit 40, 8 guys hit in the upper 30's, etc. 86 / 84 power would most certainly put his sim stats around 40 - 45 homers. Thats why I think its too high.
In real life though I think hes gonna be good for 25 - 30 jacks. Gotta give him sometime to adjust after the pitchers start throwing to him differently. Could be wrong though cause hes definitely special....
