I will say this... I do agree with Tango in that types of shots should be weighted in a certain way.

Slugging percentage is a better stat than batting average in baseball because of weighting a HR more than a single.

I doubt it tremendously changes anything but a one-timer from the slot should be weighted more heavily than a dump in from centre.
