Does anyone here believe that being bigger and stronger doesn't help you hit?


Yes.

It may help with distance, but it doesn't help you make contact.
Examples:
Ichiro Suzuki 5'9" 160lbs. .328 BA (career through 2003)
Tony Gwynn 5'11" 199 .338
Mickey Mantle 5'11" 198 .298
Willie Mays 5'11" 180 .303

Soriano (.280 this year with 28 HR) weighs about 180 lbs. and Roberto Clemente (.317) tipped the scales at all of 175.
