Here's little comparison I put together:

Why did I post this?

Trying to post swings from different "definitions" and frame rates of a player is damn near impossible.

What do you think are the differences?

Chris, do you think it important to match pitch location when comparing?

CB...I tried...but trying to match pre-2017 and before with pitch location is next to impossible...

Like a maniac I tried...believe me...trying to matching video definition and frames per second made this endeavor damn near impossible.

Hands move away from the shoulder much earlier in the swing in 2015...this could be location it could also be pushing and not turning the barrel...CP

There is at least one video out there of Judge describing the changes he made. And I think one where A-Rod breaks it down, too.

One thing not in the GIF here (that may or may not matter) is he totally changed his stride/leg kick. This falls under style for most, but I do think changes to "style" can affect individual hitters differently, so it may be worth noting.
