Looking at swing clips of Bonds, Griffey, etc., I notice that they "wrap" the bat (behind their head - pointed toward the pitcher) in a way that is, I think, discouraged by many hitting instructors. I am not sure if this is another "liner vs. rotational" difference, but I do think it is another illustration that elite hitters often do things that average hitters cannot (or should not) do.
