No amount of work with or without would help my batting. I just wasn't gifted with quickness that is the basis of power. I compensate by using a heavy bat.
I had the clue about it when I tried out for my college ski team. Interesting drills.
One was a shuttle run, followed by a shuttle run carrying someone about the same size. My times were very close, and also more than a bit slow. The coach thought I was slacking on the unloaded run and made me do it like three times. Never really changed my time in the run. Figured I could probably do about the same with even more weight, last run was carrying the heaviest guy there. Marginally slower.
At the time I was cycling a lot as many skiers did in summer, and was racing. So not exactly out of shape. (Being able to use higher gearing made me fast enough to race)
I have real doubts about any of the ADD meds actually improving performance. I suppose it's possible if you take tons of the stuff.
