I know there was some debate awhile back about whether a zero power guy could hit a HR... not sure if anyone ever found an example, but I just signed a catcher who did hit his first career HR last season at the age of 32, and has zero power.

Not sure. He was a FA, so I dont know his history.  Not sure what would be worse... a 0 power "out of the park" HR, or a 24 speed "inside the park" HR.

0 power guys can now hit out of the park HR's.

from customer support on inside-the-park HR's:

So are inside the park HR's different than regular HRs now? Or are they still just different window dressing of the same event?

Inside the park home runs are still subsets of home runs. We haven't had a chance to make that adjustment yet, but it's on the list.

meaning that there is no difference between an "over the fence" HR and an "inside the park" HR.  A 0 power guy now can hit HR's but the fact that he is fast won't make a difference.

Had a 0 power guy hit his first HR in 7000 at bats today.  A walk off homer to CF.

Ozzie Smith would have close to 0 power and he "muscled" a few out
