Contact and power are the two primary ways of evaluating hitters. In fact they are two of the so-called five tools that a player is evaluated on by scouts. Most players are decently skilled at both but generally they tend towards one extreme or the other. Only the elite players are above-average at both; these players are the superstars of baseball and wreak havoc on the diamond.
The 2016 Orioles have only a few of these kinds of players on their roster. Mostly though they offer low-contact, swing-and-miss power that makes fans ooh and ahh at dingers but also grind their teeth at strikeouts.
