From my experience, a coach would rather have a player batting .400 hitting line drives and getting on base, than a hitter that bats .200 but can hit the occassional home run. Go for the batting average, not the glory and feel good moment of a home run. If it happens, GREAT! If not, dont worry about it. There are no homerun hitters who bat 200. Maybe around 220avg to 240 and they can hit 40 or more homers, i would rather have the power.
