>I'm 5'5" and can bench 375lbs. and I weigh 200lbs and am strong and lean. Why is it my longest homeruns only go about 305 foot in the air? I should be hitting 400ft. bombs but am not. I have more bat speed than other who hit it 350+ but the ball just does not carry off my bat. I've tried all the bats also. I also squat 500lbs. I'm lost? I'm batting about .520 which I think is damn good but I want to hit more than 3 or 4 homeruns per season. What should I do? Go on juice and increase my press and squat? I'm seriously considering going on sustanon 250. I want to be a bigtime hitter by the time I'm 28 in 2 >years.

Sorry dude, I'm not trying to poke fun but how can you be 5'5", 200 lb and be lean? Either you're a shotput on legs (as Boomer Esiason said of Amos Zeroae (sp?)) or ...
How do you know you have more batspeed than guys who hit the ball farther? Have you measured it? Being stronger doesn't aotomatically translate to more batspeed. You have to use your strength correctly.
