Tom Guerry talks about this internal rotation of the top hand elbow; is that the thumb turning in to the body at load, then the palm of the top hand going up while the thumb goes back to the catcher and the elbow into the side and then what happens when the elbow is palm up and into the side? does it just get pulled along with the lead shoulder or is it pushing forward or does it stay in the L/bent mode or none of the above - - it looks like to me, different hitters all do something a little bit different, but exactly what they do is hard for me to tell.
