Nick-

I would agree with the "quiet hands" concept interpreted as it not
being done significantly with the small arm type muscles.It is the
torso muscles that do the positioning which can be seen as the
bat cocking toward first base,then around to the p[itche,then
uncocking to accelerate into the plane of the pitch(back toward
catcher).

Not only do the hands come in,they "stay back'"while the bat
turns which allows loading(coiling/twist/separation) to continue
before "launch" without excessive/ongoing 'counterrotation/
"backswing".I think they also get the bat turning around a point
approaching the handle so that when you do launch,the energy
doesn't have to accelerate a lot of arm mass along with the bat.
