You got this man!!
I didn't want you to think that I ran. I've been busy. I will try to respond with my thoughts when I have time. Take care!
Anyone else wanna chime in? There’s an obvious outta plane theme so the last piece is as elastic as possible? As well as a big core contraction or a solid second foundation for rotation. Just thinking out loud here..
Early connection is a flatter swing. The metric is over rated and and should be taught as a feel. The feeling of your bat being at 90 degrees to your torso AT contact and even before contact is a good feeling. The idea that the sooner you get connected the better the swing is probably not a good idea. It will cause a early dropping of hands (loss of power/leverage) and a flat swing. I don't use blast.Anyone else wanna chime in? There’s an obvious outta plane theme so the last piece is as elastic as possible?

WIW, I don't have any idea of what the link means by "Early Connection." Even in that diagram, you see the shoulders begin to turn and the hands in a relationship with those shoulders. At least that is what I see. Also, when the hands are, "seeking" the ball and pelvic tilt is turning into lateral tilt, I believe that those hands are in connection. As I have stated many times, that amount of time is very brief but I believe that it is there. In looking at these stills, in frame 3, the hands are beginning to come into connection. For frames 4 and 5 they are there and then, they come off the merry-go-round. (Term I use that I know most of you don't like.) That is what I see and what I teach. Remember, I am an "ex-expert." When I swing a bat, that is what I feel. When I coach it, players seem to get it.
