Why are there very few players today that size who can go yard so frequently?

The same way smaller guys on the PGA Tour hit long drives.

Very strong for his size and I believe he used a super heavy bat.

Aaron's wrists were actually thicker that Floyd Patterson, heavyweight champion. Aaron played at about 180 lbs. Quick wrists and superior bat speed through the zone.

He's like Alfonso Soriano if Alfonso Soriano was a really good hitter that didn't swing at everything.

This.
I am a skinny guy who does not work out...ever. And I hit a golf ball farther than most people (albeit not that straight these days). Its all in the wrists.

Swing plane, bat speed, etc
It is not necessary to be big to hit a ball far

No, that has little to do with your wrists
