Joe DiMaggio is certainly regarded as a rotational hitter but he is not same as Mike Piazza.

Although Joe DiMaggio shows a great mechanics, there are hardly number of hitters having a swing like his one in todays baseball scene. Why is that? in todays baseball scene, many hitters have come to adopt small stride like Joe DiMaggio but there swing is undoubtedly different from DiMaggio's it. (Albert Pujols, Mark McGwire, Jeff Bagwell, etc.)




Mike Piazza also has small stride and it can be recognized as no-stride in case of roughly watching. On this point, same thing can be said for Joe DiMaggio and this movie shows his small stride clearly. But in reality, taking a closer look, it can be ascertained that Piazza and DiMaggio do a stride motion and their toe are off the ground slightly.

Following the "linear or rotational method", both of two players can be classified as a rotational type. However, since there is obvious difference between their swings, I think another classification method should be adopted for explaining that difference.

In conclusion, Mike Piazza's swing is conforming to the manner of puncher type and Joe DiMaggio's swing is conforming to the manner of swinger type.
