i dont think so. there is a lot of mechanics and technical aspects of hitting homeruns. (yes, its not just swinging the bat as hard as you can)
if you look at players back before the steroid scandals such as Ken Griffey Jr, Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, Jose Canseco (pre-roids), Mark McGwire (pre-roids)...they were all home run hitters. They weren't bulking with muscles.
it was not until steroids became more prominent that the hitters started hitting 400-500+ feet homeruns more commonly.
