A ML umpire, getting into a debate about what can be seen from B and C, once told us that he didn't watch the bat to determine if a batter "went". He said, "The rule isn't about position of the bat, but the batter's intent. The batter's body will tell you his intent better than his hands or bat. Watch his hips and torso, watch if he "unscrews". If he does, he went."
