Roberto Clemente

Does he bear weight on his back leg?

Does he hit against the front leg?

Does he keep the foot and hip square at heel plant?

Is he PURE linear?

Is he PURE rotational?

or

Does he have both linear and rotational movements in his swing?

by the way, he hit this ball about 440 feet!

Let me simply say that he could knock the cover off of a baseball.  I was fortunate to see him play several times at the Dome and he hit a line drive home run that got out of the park faster than any other I saw in my 35 years of watching Astrodome baseball. I'm not sure where it finally hit.  It went over everyone in the mezzanine and into that area to the left of the original scoreboard.

Swampdude, I agree. He had great momentum and early bat speed with a quick stroke!
