Sometimes bodytypes limit the rotational hitter as in Pete Rose. Me too! Pete is "Charlie Hustle" with slow twitch muscle fibers with great power-Vs in his body posture and approach in tilt of spine angle matching the plane which enabled him to hit to all fields with authority. If you notice, Carew and Rose would both take what the pitcher would give them to hit; even when the pitches were low and away. Results from this approach: cut down on strikeouts and get a dozen basehits opposed to a couple of homeruns with a mountain of K's. As a manager, which hitter would you want? Harmon Killebrew or Rod Carew? Russ Branyan or Pete Rose? It's your choice but I bet

I know what one recently inducted HOF MNGR Sparky Anderson would say
