I have been trying to model my swing on stewarts style ,it feels good and easy as,as a HITTER is this right....is he in fact a hitter?

Why the No? What are you saying no to?

If so, and he fires the right tricep there as you suggest, he would have to be Switting.

When you look at the 3-D models instead of making assumptions in watching 2-D video, there are periods of acceleration and deceleration in every segment. When the arm accelerates off of the shoulder, the arm can cause the shoulder to rapidly decelerate but not stop. Just because something is moving doesn't mean that it's not slowing down.

When a major league pitcher throws a ball, the shoulder doesn't stop when the arm begins to throw. It's a faulty assumption to believe that a Hitter's shoulder can't continue down-plane.
Some of us use 4 barrels. And, Homer said it was possible for Hitting.

I did not say or imply, that it stops or doesn't move down plane when Hitting.
