This is the same thing that happens in hitting.

I'll agree with that statement. The only difference is that I think of almost any counterclockwise movement from the closed position as open, even if not fully there. In other words, if you're not closed, you're open. In fact, Lincecum is about the max "open" that anyone gets to. Hitting the same, but even far less so.
