Hitting Home Runs in Offline Franchise Mode (Impossible??)

Just some feedback/a query: Been playing The Show for years, and I love the idea of a dynamic difficulty setting. It seems to function decently well for the way I prefer playing the game (Franchise mode), as it emulates the feeling of going through slumps and hot streaks by making things harder when you're doing well and easier again when you're struggling. Pretty much every game I play through feels challenging, but doable, which I think is a great balance. I have two jumping-off points related to this that I wanted to ask about, or at least provide feedback about in case my experience is not unique:

1. Hitting is WAY harder than hitting. Perhaps there are sliders I can adjust to counteract this, but for me personally, pitching his dynamicked its way up to the maximum possible difficulty, while hitting is literally sitting at "Rookie+" currently. Just wanted to offer this feedback in case it helps as you tinker with the game, or in case you have any advice for how I can tinker with the game myself to balance it out better.

2. I absolutely CANNOT hit home runs. I've played approximately 25 games of my season, and I think I have four home runs exactly. This is even with the aforementioned hitting difficulty sitting at the lowest possible level. Is this feedback you're getting from others as well, or should I adjust my approach to hitting/hitting settings/sliders? I don't think I'm insane, as on last year's game, I hit home runs fairly regularly. Everything else pretty much feels on par with what I want from a simulation baseball game (AKA I very rarely find myself saying "that wouldn't happen in a real baseball game"), but this power outage makes me feel like something is wrong. Again, I would love any advice or feedback if this is something you've been hearing regularly from folks.

I haven’t been hitting many either. Almost never get perfect swings anymore too.
