What's wrong with line drives hard up the middle?

Let's look at the odds. 5 players in the infield, and only 3 in the OF covering 2-3X more ground. Wouldn't it make more sense to practice hitting the ball just over the infielder's head (approx. 10 deg launch angle)? Then you could hit hard line drives in any direction, not just in that narrow gap up the middle while missing the pitcher?
