Hitting styles- Linear or Rotational?
Linear style of hitting was the old way but rotational is the new.
The difference having to do with a number of things, the main one, in my opinion, being that in linear hitting you have a little more weight on your front foot and when you finish your swing, your back leg is straight, almost a lunging effect. In rotational, you sit back on the ball, all your weight on your back leg, and when you swing your back leg is driving into the ball.
Now my question is that, which do you think is better since, both obviously worth since linear hitting was the style for people like Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, and other older baseball players, but rotational is the style used by Barry Bonds, A-Rod, David Ortiz, etc. ??
Rotational is better. With the evolution of the game you slowly come to realize that hitters get bigger and stronger, but pitchers get better. Early era pitchers rested predominantly on a fastball, change up, and on occasion a breaking ball. Unfortunatley, they didn't have the best of stuff at the time. Their breaking pitches weren't refined and ended up hanging more often then not. In turn, you could get all you weight on you front leg because with a hung pitch its a good way to get to it before it breaks extremely late (namely, just before the catchers glove). Now, with breaking pitches being an early learned tool, the pitches are more devastating and more difficult to hit. In turn, you need to learn to hit back in your stance to deliver appropriate power, keep the ball in your stance, and drive with authority. One of the better early rotational hitters was Hank Aaron and you can see the success he had.
