Hi, Jack and Raymond
Thank you for answering me.
I have changed the extensions of files. I wish you could see the clips.

A

Bonds, Sosa, Griffey Jr., Ortiz are A.

B

Pujols, Beltre, Ramirez, Piazza(50% of MLhitters) are B.

I will mention my definition of typeA and B briefly.
Firstly,both of two types are 'top hand flail'.
Former hitters , for example Ruth, Williams and Aaron, pulled the bat with bottom hand. The hitters of typeA and B pull the bat with top hand.
Ramirez said that he pulled the bat, using abs. If he pulled with bottom hand, he would use muscles of the back.

Bodily movement of typeA is throwlike. And that of typeB (if you do not take the bat into consideration) is pushlike.
