Notice how his hips and shoulders stay parallel to the plate and he is not really rotating. LOL. As an Angel fan, I have to admit I am a little surprised how well he is hitting. I would have thought pitchers could work him with fastballs high and in and soft and away but he has been better guesser than the pitcher. His swing is in a category of its own. Very big, strong and fast guy letting it rip. Controlled (barely) violence.
He absolutely is rotating. He just has the amazing strength, ability, reaction time to do it extremely late in the travel of the ball to the plate. He truly is a phenom in more than just his hitting. I don’t care about the numbers as much as I acknowledge how amazing of a ball player he is. Last time we saw this was Babe Ruth.
