This is the closest clip to being directly overhead I have seen. What do you think about the swing? Ichiro said he tried to keep his chest from facing the pitcher for as long as possible. What do you think about Griffey's shoulders being counter rotated (pre set, turned inward a good distance)?

Shoulders rotating back is creating scap load. Griffey rides his scap load into foot plant and holds some even during rotation. JMO

There will always be some shoulder turn, but IMO his is exaggerated in this gif because of the direction of the ball's path. His shoulder's are even turned before he is completely set.
