I think that at this point it would be helpful to read;  "Wrist Action or Torque". The article described the batter's mechanics just prior to contact for pitches from the middle-in.   If the swing was not initiated with the correct forces in frame #1, the bat's reaction (inertia vs angular displacement) will not allow the batter to have the bat in a good position to apply maximum torque in frames 4 and 5.

Lead knee and leg rotation completed and lead leg is fully extended. The pulling back of the lead shoulder and arm toward the catcher is completed. Back arm and forearm has fully rolled to the "L" position with the forearm pointing toward the pitcher. The palm of the top hand is facing upward. Palm of the bottom hand facing downward
