Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

Re: Re: elbow up vs. elbow down

Keeping the back elbow up before you initiate your swing allows you to apply Top Hand Torque (THT) by pulling the bat back toward the catcher with your top hand (while simultaneously dropping the back elbow). By breaking inertia this way, you gain a large amount of bat speed before the bat is even in the hitting zone.

I would like to point out that pulling the bat "back" builds up nothing since the bat has to stop and go forward.
