Teacherman,
> Explain what you are talking about. Just dont come on here and say something is wrong without telling what you think. That is the dumbest thing i have ever seen in my life. And how are you going to say that isnt true. Nothing does happen in the "swing part" of an AB. Same thing with pitching...you generate arm speed after you land with you front foot and develop torque with your hips.

See above.

As far as the "swing part" of an AB, please define.

As for arm speed a very high percentage of arm speed is developed before footplant. See Beckett. He actually starts to throw the ball before his foot hits the ground. Just like almost every player who has ever thrown a ball.

Video doesn't lie.
