Hands at the shoulder

Jack, I know you advise hitters to keep "their hands at the back shoulder" at initiation. Most hitters do this, but there is one glaring exception: Ken Griffey Jr.

Maybe this is just style, Jack? Griffey has been doing this since his days in Seattle. Does it really matter where the hands start, whether at the shoulder or beyond? What are the pros and cons of each?
