It is sort of ironic seeing Arizona players as an example against 'linear' hitting, as coach Candrea uses the words "negative" and "positive" quite often when describing swing mechanics. Those words seem to be taboo on this site. I don't think any coach really tries to train athletes to move their hands in a straight line. It is elliptical if anything, neither pure linear nor pure circular.
