Hey 5, when I talk sequence I’m referring to working from the ground up (tension in legs at foot plant, front hip begin to work rearward, back knee pinches forward, all while upper body is still resisting). Is this what you consider good sequence ?
Good question.
Within the context of my post I was referring to 'sequence' as the basic starting sequence during the 'move out'.
Below are some video segments of the basic starting.
Some terms used to describe this are ... "walk away from the hands", "forward and prepare-to-throw", "forward as the torso prepares to pull", "separation", "pullback against a forward moving hip", "forward-by-coiling", "forward and stretch", "forward as we take the slack out of the torso", "forward as we take the ball out of the glove","forward as we place the hands on the bookshelf", etc.
A fundamental of getting in sequence is that the rear hip gains ground as the rear arm prepares to throw (sidearm throw). More accurately, the 'move out' takes place as the torso prepares to do its part in launching the swing.
Example ... red lines show forward movement of the rear hip, green lines show top hand movement:
Notice how there is a greater movement forward with the red line (rear hip) than with the green line (hands). Brooke (girl above) has in a sense "walked away from her hands".
We want to master this portion of the swing sequence. When this portion of the swing is mastered then we will say that a hitter is "in sequence".
Another example (... this one without a stride):
Cabrera as an example:
