He coils his shoulders more than his hips (like most people do on a tee swing), and it causes this...
His front bicep pushes away from his body. His arms are pushing the bat, and his torso is barely rotating.
He should probably stop doing fence drills, also.

I got him rotating about 180 degrees.
What fence drill?
Is his front bicep / arm pushing, or is he just releasing the barrel?
Does his torso have to keep rotating (at this point in his swing)? Or was most of the rotation done before the gif starts?
I’m thinking of a fence drill where you face the fence /net. Do you mean the kind where the fence is across from you? (Along the outer edge of the plate?)

I think he's led the league in hits for a few years running now.
Well at least he doesn't have bat drag! He might be the poster boy for the hands staying in front of his torso, not doing to much but holding the bat. The more I watch his swing, the more I like it. Got a little Josh Donaldson in him. It might not be a swing for the masses but this guy flat out rakes.
