I know this won't be a popular post, but from my perspective 75% or more of slappers do it because they cannot hit for consistency or power. There are only a few elite slappers in our league that are good lead-off sticks. The other 20 are girls with decent speed who were taught to slap because they weren't the best hitters.
When you slap you take away the threat of a double, triple, and HR. Your slugging percentage is going to be much lower. The slapper needs be near or have the highest avg. and on-base percentage on the team.
I find it funny when someone see's a well executed slap and starts to gush about what a great slap that was. I almost always reply, "that was a great single".
