Hand Path. Back Elbow starts the swing and leads the hands. In order to adjust to different speeds the back elbow has to drop and the hands stay back with the bat being vertical. If the pitcher is throwing the same velocity on every single pitch and the same height...then you could get away with leading your hands straight to the ball. (maybe at the 12u level) ahead of your back elbow. Yet, I see so many coaches still teaching this! Once the hands start to swing, it is very difficult to make in-flight adjustments to the swing without slowing it down or altering it drastically. If the elbow and hands go at the same time, the batter must start everything exactly on time to deliver a well-timed swing. If the elbow starts to attack and the hands stay independent, the batter can wait fractions of a second longer before delivering the rest of the swing. This is just one way batters show the ability to be on time for wide ranges of speeds
