If this is the one I recall, the batter clearly did not try to strike the pitch from the position the bat was held, but he clearly carried the bat all the way through the strike zone, and then some, so it was called a strike. This is the one where it barely left his shoulder but he spun completely around with it, hands in tight agains his chest.
