This is a common misconception. With the way league normalization works, you should be more concerned about the other power hitters in the league, not the pitchers.
Don't get me wrong, MOV does prevent homers. So if for example you have a bunch of teams in your division with huge MOV ratings, it will hurt you.
But generally speaking, in your fight for the slice of the HR pie, it's the other power hitters in the league you're competing with. Not the pitchers.
