2018 homer
His rear forearm is flat/horizontal at toe touch just like every MLB hitter. And the bat head is in the typical position/angle.
I gave up on the hands/elbow position theory in early 2015, when I discovered the rear forearm theory.
He does have some bat drag prior to hip slot, but somehow he's able to get the hands ahead from that point forward. 99% of kids can't do that.
So with this being said maybe just maybe a hint of what you say is ‘bat drag’ isn’t really ‘drag’ and probably is just a bit more ‘lag’ then you care for, which is not ’detrimental’ to a swing. But needed in a swing.
You will see more ‘lag’ on away pitches because of the ‘wait’ time. Make sense?
