They Hit with the whole bat. It is a very cross line appraoch.
I teach batting to some kids around my son's age. My son hits a baseball as good as anyone his age (No credit to me- he is a natural)
As many ideas on batting as in golf. Old age is linear swings like George Brett- a move to the front leg and swing the arms. Today its all rotation on the rear leg, ala Barry Bonds. "Squash the bug" under your back leg and let the lower body rotate before the shoulders, the hands and arms will go back- away from the pitcher before going forward. The phrase is "hide the hands" before swinging.

of course- "see ball hit ball" works for youngsters until they can learn mechanics. Major leaguers, I have some friends that played in the majors, are so mechanic cognizant, even golfers would laugh.
