Was George Brett a linear hitter?

I recently finished Charley Lau's Laws on Hitting. Mentioned in the book, was George Brett. He is "supposed" to be the classic example of linear hitting. I went looking for photos of him and I found a good one of him in the swing.

Now, this picture doesn't look too much like front hitting. This looks like rotational hitting at its best to me. Any thoughts?
