>>> The reason the hitter can not wait to start his load until after the pitch is released is this...To try to create momentum (load) in such a short period of time (8/30 sec.) means that it will be too quick and uncontrollable. <<<

Hi Jimmy

Even though video of many good hitters does not support your statement, I doubt I could prove to your satisfaction that they were neither to quick or uncontrollable. So let us just agree to disagree.
