Just spent some time in batting practice and stroked one 412 feet with Lee (BALT) using contact swing with L stick down to influence ground ball. So yes you can get homers with contact. The ball was up in the zone around the middle so he laid solid wood on it even though he was supposed to keep it down. I did notice his trajectory is different than a weak hitter as everything tended to get lifted. His grounders were of the hard, one-bounce variety. When I used Aybar of the Angels I could dribble groundballs all over the place.

I think I'm going to try this:

Power hitters:

Power swing on 3-0, 3-1 & 2-0 counts
Defensive Swing on 0-2
Contact swing with everything else

Contact hitters:

Power Swing on 3-0, 3-1, 2-0 & 2-1 counts
Contact swing everything else
