I am confused as to the movements described on the swing mechanics page. It says, "The top hand starts out pulling toward the catcher. But by contact, the rotation of the shoulders and the rolling of the forearm from vertical to horizontal will cause the force of the top hand to be directed toward the pitcher. --- The bottom hand starts by being pulled in an arc toward the pitcher but finishes pulling toward the catcher."
Could someone explain at what point in the swing the top hand pulls toward the catcher and the bottom hand pulls in an arc toward the pitcher? Thank you.
