Prior to this video, working on keeping bat on plane down with ball longer.  Previously have been swinging more "outside in" and at a pretty steep angle.

1.  The load sinks into the back leg a bit as opposed to more of a back to front movement. Tilting. 

2.  The leading arm gets really barred when loaded.

3.  Along with arm bar, look at his spine angle at front heel plant.  It is tilted very rearward.

4.  Then look at bat angle when trailing elbow "slots" against right side. It is still almost vertical. It need to be much flatter (pointing more to C) at this point. 

5.  All of this leads to a steep down, steep up, swing where (especially on outside pitches) you get "chipped" weak ground balls to the left side and weak pops to the right side. 

Work on staying more stacked over the back leg (but balanced) with a more verticle spine, getting the barrel turned earlier, and not rolling over quite so early. The energy of the swing is not being delivered out through the ball At this point. Pastime athletics on YouTube has some great slow mo swings you can look at. Josh Donaldson, tulowitski, are a couple good ones.
