It's an interesting question - what exactly is the mental trait involved in hitting a baseball? Needs reaction time, fast pattern recognition to recognize pitches, etc. Benefits from more T. Also seems to be a rare mental trait that doesn't show ability gaps between races.

Hey,
@Steve_Sailer - what is up with hitting skill *not* differing noticeably by race? Isn't that unusual for a complex mental / physical trait?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

You claimed that contact rates don't decrease with T supplementation, but do they increase? My null hypothesis here is that all the effect is from strength (swing bat faster, more likely to hit past fielders) and not mental effects

Just using Bonds and leaving off his not full season rookie year and the year where it's unknown when / how much he was using T (1999). Pre T - 7616 PA, 948 K - 12.45% Post T - 4072 PA, 437 K - 10.49% Hitting past fielders isn't really a factor in baseball - BABIP tracks this
