Greg, bottom line is in the umpires judgement did he try to hit the ball, did he swing at the ball.
There is nothing in the book about a pre-swing position.
We've all seen guys hit the ball with the bat still on their shoulder.
I don't get into all the stuff about "did he break his wrist etc.,". If a coach asks, I tell him,"coach he swung at the ball" or "coach he didn't swing at the ball."
