I know, weird question considering the result is a HR. But even with increased launch angles, most HR's I see are a result of the hitter hitting the bottom half of the ball which results in more loft then the actual upward plane of the swing. If you look at Donaldson's(one of the most vocal increased launch angle hitters out there) HR's, the ball comes off the bat at a much greater angle than what it would if he actually squared the ball up. So are MLB hitters actually trying to hit the bottom half of the ball and increase launch angle as well? Or like Zimmerman says, good luck trying to hit a certain portion of the ball when pitchers are throwing 95-100 mph with movement. So are HR's runs miss hits in regard to where the bat meets the ball?
