Note the reference to ferris wheel and a long swing. All the pro hitters say the early arcing is a long swing.

AROD fights back
I haven't been around a while but this vid showed up on my phone. A golf ball does not go up because of a Ferris wheel swing. The club has a Pitch on it so it will go up. Try hitting a one iron and getting the ball in the air,lol. Point being some of his statements are incorrect...
On a real inside pitch the hands might slide forward to get "out front" of the body (mid line). The lead arm bends and doesn't straighten. So on some swings the lead arm is extended and some the lead arm bends.
This guy is a moron. His swing uses launch angle. His bat head drops below the path of the incoming pitch just like every MLB hitter.
As a hitter he's a genius. As an instructor, he is a clown.
Also, ARod teaches door knocking knuckles. He used a box grip in his game swings.
Pro tip to Dads. Always, always use the Hanson Principle when it comes to fastpitch instruction.
"Always compare anything anyone tells you to slow motion video of the best in the world. "
So, do what ARod does, not what he says.
