So if you see a player with a big CONTACT rating, but their avoid K and power are both low, you can reasonably infer they have a high BABIP rating.

Yeah, I think I could go so far as to say that Power's influence on Contact is literally just "this guy will hit 30 homeruns per year, so that's 30 more hits per year, so that bumps his batting average up by X points". Contact is meant to mean batting average and it's a pretty decent score for that for modern day play.
