Lol. I had an opinion on that kid but deleted it because he wasn’t asking for help with her.Thanks, just said goodbye to the BS theorists. You don’t theorize, you just chat.
I’m sure he doesn’t care. I’m sure he is confident in what he teaches. Obviously he is because he has many students doing well at all levels. He knows how to teach his system, obviously.
Do share your opinion.

His students all have big hand loads (their setup sort of dictates it) This kid, because she is only young, is having a hard time synching it with her forward move.
I agree there is some hand movement. I do see most of the hitters engaging the scap/back as the underlining movement.
The young hitter doesn’t have the same engagement.

I don’t want to go down this rabbit hole too much but you would agree that the timing of this load (active, reactive or a combination) is important, right? Otherwise you would just load in setup, right?
Yes.
He is combining throwing/swinging. His students therefor have bigger hand loads as you see it. Because he is teaching it off of the throwing. I think he is teaching hip/shoulder separation as well, similarly to throwing.
I think she arm-bars with a touch of drag at the start, before she gets the knob going. You can't see it because the view of her front arm is blocked, so it's just a hunch.
