what do you mean LA
Here is Bryce Harper ..

He has a simular no step swing to your son. You see his stomach/hip dont move forward towards the pitcher. When Jimmy makes contact, his back and butt is arched, kind of like a "C" but no so dramatic.
At 3:00 of Bryce you see a still photo of him after contact, there is no arch in his back. It looks like Jimmy is leaning back when he makes contact, while Bryce stays more upright.
Bryce may not be MLB quality , but he's pretty d*mn good.

I don't think this swing is that far off. I believe he is a little out of sync, but other than that, the parts are all there.
Have him wait to load his hands until he starts to push forward with his back foot and see what happens. His hands should be going back as his rear hip moves/turns forward. Because he loads them early, they move with his rear hip as it starts to move, therefore very little separation.
