I think the back forearm and bat line up/get coplanar at/just after the bat is pointing back at the catcher and about 2 or 3 frames before contact (30fps) when the bathead leaves the arc of the handpath,roughly about 90 degrees from contact as in Bonds 01 or Glaus 02 or a frame or so (at 30fps) after this point:
