Heard a guy speak at a clinic, and when discussing loas/stride, he said it should be "linear, definately not rotational." What are some thoughts on that statement??

99.99% of all good hitters have linear and rotational moves in their load, approach and/or swing. If you stride, that is a linear move. If you rotate your hips, that is a rotational move. Most good hitters do both.
those were my thoughts too. coach was from a major big 12 program, gave a great speech, but found that comment interesting.

In most cases, when people talk about "linear mechanics" they are talking about the hand path, not the stride (since it's hard to stride rotationally). Many rotational hitters have a rotational (or circular/semi-circular) hand path but a linear stride.
