I’ve played baseball since I was a little boy in the 2000s and I remember coaches never talking launch angle even at college levels. I’ve been umpiring a few years now for all ages 10-18 and while it’s great there’s a few of these kids who can hit a couple bombs mostly it’s slow grounders or high pop ups. The old philosophy of hitting for line drives in my opinion taught better bat control and ball placement, leading to a better player all around. Even if you’re only smashing line drives the home runs are gonna follow behind. Just one man’s opinion: at most levels you’ll find hard grounders much more entertaining than a bomb as a spectator and player. Hell just look at this last WS to see what can happen
