Okay, in order to be an effective baseball hitter you pretty much have to roll the wrists through swing. A lot of people switch to punch hitting in softball because if your bigger you can generate more power but typically you pull the ball with little control. A roll hitter generally hits up the middle and relies on the snap of the wrist to increase force. For smaller guys like me (5'8", 170 lbs) the increased speed gives you more pop.

I'm the smallest guy on the team and I hit the ball farther (4 or 5 HR's a season) than everyone on the team. Inside the park HR's - at least once a game. I don't count inside-the-park HR's as an actual homerun because it almost always involves an error somewhere during the relay to homeplate.
