Our Hitter who has a good sequential swing would be deliver the bat with power. Here, Chad is in proper hitting position and he would be a position of strength.
Chad is going to hold the bat so that I cannot push it back. You can see the position of strength that he has.
A hitter who is at the sequence who leads with his arms first will now reach that hitting position but he has no strength at all and the bat is easily pushed back.
To reach a position of strength and power, you need to have a sequential swing beginning with the lower half rotating before the upper half.
This Hitter is demonstrating a swing that is out of sequence. If you will notice the front shoulder is the first thing that is rotating.
As the front shoulder rotates, it also pulls the head off of the hitting zone.
A swing that is out of sequence causes problems with rhythm and timing. It is also a less powerful swing and a longer swing. It disrupts the potential energy of the lower half of the body.
