This is an average swing. Hitting is hitting and there are many ways to swing or many ways to produce force in the swing.

I get a little tired of hearing about rotation and this is or isn't a rotational swing. It's more how he is using the body to swing, he is trying to rotate.

You might not like what coach C is saying but there are some flaws in this swing.

"In a post last month you made a reference to all bat-heads first arcing back toward the catcher. That is an important topic and I will bring the post forward and address it in the next few days. Thanks for being patient."

I could agree with this statement. In the swing being discussed rotation sucks his elbow ahead of his top hand. You don't see this in a ML swing. You do see this in amateur hitters regardless of their prowess or success.
