Commit Message:
SCUMM: HE: BYB01 hit power change

This slightly changes the velocity of hits when the player is using a power swing.

The previous iteration of this mod reduced the velocity of hits with power swings, making them less effective relative to line drive and grounder swings. After 6+ months of competitive play, the consensus among the community is that this has made power swings not viable - using a line drive swing is almost always optimal, which makes gameplay less interesting.

This change is intended to make the decisions on what swing type to use more interesting.
