Be they line drive hitters like Cano and Seager, or towering fly ball home runs like. . .well the Mariners don't have anyone like that, but if they did, I wouldn't bash him. A-Rod hit a lot of those 45 degree moon shots. Its just speculation, but if you are set up for perfect 45 degree mortar shots, and you are off a little bit, then you are more prone to a can of corn situation. If a launch angle is at all higher than 45 degrees, distance drops off quickly and hang time increases quickly. Whereas, if you are dialed in as a line drive hitter, and you don't do something optimal, its still often a nice hit. I don't know the difference between 30 to 35 degrees. Both are highly desirable. Its like Moe's debate with the Uptons.
