Yeah, I'm not seeing middle infielders rack up HR with any great regularity either. In a random default fictional league (16 teams), the top 24 players ranked by HR only included two middle infielders: a third baseman who was temporarily playing as a poor shortstop out of necessity due to injury and one terrible defensive second baseman who would really fare much better as a first baseman on most teams.
