Getting on the base consistently is much better then trying to hit a home run and striking out nine times out of ten.

What does "to hit a home run" mean?

"To hit a home run" in baseball or softball is to hit the ball so hard or so well that the batter (person who hits the ball) has time to run around ALL the bases and score a run. The batter is able to run to first base, second base, third base, and home plate (back where he or she started).
