Right so if the leg extends at or near the point where the bat decelerates how can that action be powering (e.g. the main force producer) the swing...Yes, ideally the bat should be accelerated to 100% speed before contact. But I don't think the bat slows before contact, just the rate of acceleration. We should aim to get the bat to top speed before contact.
The acceleration of the bat isn't what transfers the energy, only the speed and the mass.
