At the professional level, the pitcher is usually the weakest hitter. At lower levels the pitcher is often the best hitter, because he's often the best all-around athlete. However at higher levels, the only players who can stay in the game despite being weak hitters are the ones who play the most important defensive positions. First, by far, is pitcher. After that the shortstop and the catcher can often reach the higher levels despite not hitting as well as players at other positions.

IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AROUND THE MAJORS, THERE ARE POWER HITTERS AT ALL POSITIONS, AND YOUNG POWER HITTING PITCHERS IN HIGH SCHOOL OR COLLEGE ARE USUALLY COAXED INTO LEARNING A FIELDING POSITION, THERE USUALLY IS NO BEST SUITED POSITION. Although nowadays there are players with power at all positions, typically your power hitters are found at first base and in the outfield (and to a lesser extent, third base). The reasoning, I guess, is that these are the least difficult defensive positions to play, so your top hitters tend to get put there in order to allow them to concentrate more fully on their hitting.
