Wouldn't that be less leverage with the split grip?
I give Lotief credit for tying to be on the cutting edge, but.....you will not find those mechanics in MLB. I know the way this group thinks, someone will post a pic of a MLB player striding open guessing inside, but none bat the way ULL is teaching. They get away with it because of composite bats and 200' fences.

The interesting thing I noted in several of the clips above and especially this one...
The batters hands are not touching each other and the knuckles are not lined up in a typical fashion.
I presume the intent of this is to generate a stronger point of contact (using more human leverage) as opposed to generating more bat speed and sacrificing some leverage.
