In the above swings the leg straightens either right before contact (Trout, Betts and Cabrera) or after in the case of Hugo. You don't need stills to see that. I don't know of anybody who says swing initiation is near contact, or even better, after contact...
I can see what you are saying, it was just a thought, but It does seem at least by my eyes that as the front leg loads up (Which I think you would agree that it does, since it gets bent) It starts to bring the hands through etc. and release the back side. In the last gif you see the girl trying to resist everything coming through including releasing the backside when the front leg loads. Obviously the got fooled on this pitch. Again this is just observations not saying it right or wrong.
