Re: Re: Re: Is Hideki Matsui a linear hitter?

Does Hideki Matsui use Rotational hitting or Linear hitting styles?

Once that foot comes down and the swing initiates, there is no more forward leak. I'm not completely sure about Matsui though..I've never watched him on tape.

Also note with Lugo,he accentuates the inward turn portion of the load/pre-swing by the first stride in,and he accentuates/encourages rotation by angling the back foot toward the pitcher.
