Shoulders bypassed?

This is an inside pitch, so technically you should see more shoulder rotation. The question is can you study this clip and say the shoulders are bypassed?

What is your definition of "shoulder bypass"?

I'm gonna say the hands are the director of this movie.

Quick answer: I think the shoulders are used . But not in a conscious way, ESPECIALLY from swing launch - downstream. MO.

All hitters have shoulders, knees, elbows, big toes, etc. Doesn't mean they are important check-points or drivers of actions....I guess we can all decide what to focus on.

I think the shoulders play a important part in the swing. I don't think they are bypassed.
