I'm willing to bet my paycheck that a ball hit over the fence has a less chance of being caught than any ball that lands in the field whether it is linedrive or ground ball. Swing for the fence and if you miss it is still hit with power. Have to have launch angle. You can exaggerate it to the negative but have to have launch angle.
And my paycheck says your batting average will drop, your strikeout rate will increase, and your value to your team will become marginalized as you become a become a one-dimensional hitter.
Show me video of a great hitter that does not have launch angle. Every great batter has a somewhat upward angle to their swing.

You are being disengenuous...of course they do. We are talking about launch angle specific to lifting the baseball over the fence.
