Sultan, are you sure this isn't a misprint? The problem here is that the heel has barely begun to lift.

Exactly. The heel has begun to lift, and the kid just dropped his back arm. Lincecum and other pitchers are just a fraction away from foot strike, when their back heel comes up.

Yes. His arm is late. By this point he should be finished with external rotation and he's just beginning it. Maybe we're basically saying the same thing, but you're not going to find a clip of a high level pitcher whose heel is still touching the ground at footstrike.
