Yep looks like they are doing identical things Sorry I guess one is a drill
1. You missed the joke.
2. What’s the relevance of TM? He is not Maddie’s hitting instructor. I also don’t recall Maddie doing that drill.

" The hands control the swing. Not the body. "
I like a lot you have to say about the swing (anchored back foot specially)
But I would be more on the side that says the body controls the hands. I like the hands (top) to be loose. The hands to be thrown off the body feel.
You probably like Mike Bender's golf instruction. It kinda where the hands go the body will follow. That cue may or may not work with a seasoned athlete but with skinny 12 year old girls I think the swing will get armsy.
Before the internet scouts (and probably still do) would talk about good hands or fast handsThe body needs to support what the hands need to do, but the hands need to be in charge. If the body is in charge, you have a swing based on hard rotation, which is limiting, and not what the best do.

So TM has no relevance
"she learned TTB"
"The barrel turning rearward against her rear leg turning forward"
"Her barrel path is still down behind and up through contact"

In Maddie’s case it was how she fueled her swing. Lots of shoulder rotation. Seth I don’t know if you asking about hands going across the plate or is Ellie pushing down or forward?
