I do have to mention because talking about batting orders always reminds me of it (and it is kind of funny). When I was a little kid, the church softball team my dad coached. He always used the RF who was 5'5 130 who practically had to muscle up to get it to the OFers as the cleanup hitter. Basically, it was because the team while it had some guys with occasional power, generally it didnt have anyone with power. Every other person he put cleanup would think they were a power and go into a slump muscling up to fly out to the warning track. My dad finally figured "there is no way this guy we'll ever think he is a power hitter. And well, it was unconventional but it worked.
