The only advocate for an arm bar as a fundamental is Bobby S.

Careful, your making my point that an arm-bar is a reactionary response,
I'm not seeing an arm bar that is "reactionary" here.
His swing starts with a straight lead arm/locked out elbow,
it does not transition to it from some other position.
Right, that's why he didn't swing. His brain said - "If I am already in this bad position way back here even with two strikes I ain't swinging at THAT ball!" (or something like that)
Would like to see a few frames earlier to see how he got to this armbar.

For some reason uploading to Giphy over my phone only allows so much time and will cut my gifs short. So I have too adjust starting times (and the end) to show the entire motion.
Half the Rays BP throws 100. That tends to result in some ugly swings when they don't throw the heater and you are not expecting it..It is a great gif regardless to study because it is so ugly.
I am guessing but I think it was - "2 Strikes...should I reach for this thing??...NOoooooo, that thing is way out of the zone, what was I thinking?"For some reason uploading to Giphy over my phone only allows so much time and will cut my gifs short.
