While browsing for a specific topic on this site using Yahoo, I came across this thread: http://www.batspeed.com/messageboard/2465.html

Jack says, "Only hitters (like Big Mac) that can generate a lot of early bat speed with top-hand-torque can hit the outside pitch with real authority. They delay shoulder rotation while accelerating the bat-head."

Looking at this video--http://media.putfile.com/machrd--where does this happen? To slow the video down, pause it while it's playing, and press left and right on your keyboard or drag the progress meter. I see no acceleration of the bat-head until after shoulder rotation.
