Already loaded....weight shifted back and hands back to aid with pitching machine timing.
IMO ... this is how people use pitching machines to ruin a hitter's swing.
When feeding a pitching machine replicate the windmill pitching motion. Release the ball such that it comes out of the shoot when your pitching arm is at a normal pitcher's release point. Since there is a small delay in the ball being fed through the pitching machine, you'll want to release the ball prior to reaching the normal pitching release point. The notion is that you want the ball coming out of the pitching machine just as your windmill throwing arm reaches the normal pitcher's release. The batter should be using the pitcher's motion in "timing" their swing "sequence".
Hitting is about 'timing' and 'sequence'. What you describe here is how to rob a hitter of 'timing' and their 'sequence' ... IMO anyway.
