As the clip below illustrates, a plot of their bat-paths shows that the bat-head also follows a circular path.

Hi Jack,
The Pete Rose clip in my view does illustrate the linear portion of his bat path. About 8 frames before and about 4 frames after contact was made (as I described in my previous post). Do you disagree with this?
