and why?

The correct Power Package alignments (6-B-3-0-1) and Extensor Action (6-B-1-D) will take care of the Right Elbow at the Top. The use of the Wrist Throw Trigger (10-20-E) with the Right Hand held 'palm up' to the Plane in an Auto Snap Release is the best way to go about achieving a true Pitch Basic Stroke (Elbow 'down and in the front' / 10-3-B).
Hitters with the Left and Right Wrists Vertical to the Plane (not Turned) during the Release Interval will find the Elbow in Punch Basic alignment ('down and at the side' / 10-3-A).
