> Out of these players, who is the most rotational (or if they all are rotational, who has the best rotational swing and why)? To me, I am amazed how Jeff bagwell starts the turn of his legs so early in his swings, and then he commits his hands after that. Is this a good thing?

All these hitters are rotational. Griffey would be my choice because he has the most natural swing and setup which anyone could try. Also, with his top hand release it is easier to extend naturally.

Jeff Bagwell has a unique style, but it works for him.

(All of the above are great hitters.)
