The ball is heavier than you might think so hitting for power isn't easy. In my playing days I was far more interested in contact than power because if you can put the bat on the ball in a non professional game you've probably got like a 40% chance at getting on base at least. I did kind of rip that double but nowhere near 300 feet, just a liner down the line. I did strike out in my second PA and then in my third I almost beat out an infield single which goes to my point about high batting averages on balls in play.
