Here are some Inkys!
Is the gifs of the same person?

It's not a release. In Williams/Bonds clips the hands are going back to arrest the forward move of the rear leg which leads to a contraction of muscles on the rear edge of your torso from your scap to your hip. This is the timing you are looking for. To get to that place in time where your hands are connected to the rear hip when you launch. The rear side opens the front side. The front leg reacts to the action of the rear leg and back.
Kinsler and Cruz are guys that connect early.
Will Clark rode the rear leg and pulled back.
Agree, it's not a release move with Rich's movement pattern.. The hands going back (I call it barrel un-tipping) to arrest the forward momentum needs to be a result.. The movement needs to be dynamic until the swing happens.. One should not have a goal of pulling back to rescue forward momentum.. That is exactly why Rich basically does the splits with his off-speed demo compared to Bonds falling into his legs.. Pulling back as a goal to remove slack will run out of range of motion.. Whipping the barrel needs to be dynamic without stalling (stopping then starting)..
There is no room for adjusting dynamically to a pitch with a goal of pulling back.
