People have always asked the question: why hasn't there been a .400 hitter in over 60 years? Well, the answer lies in the increasingly popular theory of " Rotational Mechanics". From what I have discovered, " Rotational Cutters" are usually poised by a high, and inside pitch. This is a mountable theory, because a Rotational swing requires the bottom hand - the pivot - to arc out and away from the line of the pitch. For this to encompass tight pitching location, the bat will have to be pulled in much tighter - increasing the angular circumference. Such an occurance can cause the timing to diminish, and force the hitters into a mistake by swinging to early. If you have doubts, try and find a video a rotational hitter homering off a high, inside fast-ball. I can guarantee that most of them would be satisfied by leaving by.
