rotational mechanics: hitting across path of ball?


Posted by: Jacek (jacekdmochowski@hotmail.com) on Sun Jul 20 10:19:49 2008


Does a circular hand path and rotational mechanics lead to the bat barrel taking a circular (or elliptical) path ACROSS the flight of the ball? If so, this would mean that it is more difficult for a rotational hitter to make solid contact than a linear hitter. It seems that a linear hand path would have the barrel taking a path ALONG the flight of the pitch.

This could indicate a tradeoff between power (rotational) and amount of time that the barrel stays in the zone (linear).
