The focus is on hitting it hard, not necessarily HRs :)
HRs represent 13.4% of our ways of getting on base (not including HBP).
I would argue that the quality of pitching would make it hard to change a game with one swing, but....
If you can place hits, get to the gaps...Foster getting on base nearly .500 can make an offense lethal if the people behind her can.
I think the real telling stat is the number of doubles that we can hit.

But the focus from coaches seems to be long-ball focused these days
