Bond's Sunday HR

Bond's HR on Sunday night seems to be pretty amazing. Looking at the clip on www.sfgiants.com I see two interesting features. In the first slow-mo swing, it sure looks like there is a huge burst of speed just prior to ball contact. Could this clip have been doctored or is this the 'hook in the handpath' affect? Second, as the bat comes around full circle it seems as if his circular momemtum lifts him off the ground and rotates him a few more inches. Amazing!
