Bat Speed -- Baseball Hitting Forum

I've seen this style used by some players, like Griffey and Orlando Cabrera, but I'd like to know if it is effective. They point their bat almost to the pitcher, behind their head, then wrap it around and proceed to swing. Take a look at these pics to see what I mean:

Cabrera's is not as visible, but I've seen from clips of his swing that he does this as well--even more exaggerated as Griffey. This doesn't seem to me like it is exhibiting THT, though? If it is, how?
