Nick,

If your are the same as Nikkio, I can't believe you're asking these questions. There have been many conversations about the difference between Arod and other hitters on SETPRO. Paul Nyman has clearly pointed out the linear nature of Arods swing. In fact, he's called him a hybrid hitter, meaning combination of both.
