Teacherman, when you see a bat move without forces acting on a bat, let me know.

I'll get into that later. My question is when Nyman states, "Scapula loading is my way of saying rapid horizontal adduction of the shoulder," he is referring to the rear shoulder (right shoulder on a right handed batter), correct?
