Just to elaborate... so many like to say that "it doesnt help you hit the ball.. it doesnt help your hand-eye coordination"

Steroids make you hit the ball farther... lets say you get an extra 10% on your distance. In a ballpark that has a fence of 300 ft... it adds 30 ft. So what would typically be a fly ball out is now a homerun.

Lets say it only gives you more power to hit the ball only 1% farther... 300ft wall... you now hit it 3% farther... could be difference in going over fence out of reach of fielder or not.
