The brute force comment isn’t to downplay Bryce’s hitting ability, it’s more to say that he is going to get injured a lot as he gets older because of that swing.
Slate's point isn't to counter you downplaying it. It's to say it wasn't brute force alone. If he perenially was a Joey Gallo, Chris Davis, Adam Dunn...then yea that makes some sense. He's competed for batting titles. That doesn't happen if you are all brute force.
