There also is a difference between being a hs coach and a private hitting coach. In a team setting you generally gain more when you focus your energy more or the average to below average kids. The bottom ones are usually hopeless and the top ones have less potential to improve. So if you are a hs coach with a 25 roster and you want to win focus to improve the 6th to 15th best player. Those are not the worst but also not college material.

Team coaches tend to leave the studs alone and focus on the middle pack because that gives you the biggest bang for the buck and you don't want to risk ruining the stud players (happens even in pro ball). And for those middle pack players a focus on power production is probably not the primary focus.

With a private coach that is different because you have more time for the player (why would a hs coach waste half an hour to improve his best players swing by 3%...) and the player likely is good and aspiring to play the next level, in that case it might make very much sense to improve a D2 talent to D1 or a 6th rounder to third round.
