He says he drives - I believe him. Others say he drives, I believe them too. What bothers me is the elbow location.

That pitch elbow combined with right arm "thrust" just screams Right Arm Swing to me. Textbook in my humble opinion regardless of what the other Right Arm Swing camp espouses.

A 4 barrel Hit has a swingers start down, but quickly turns into a right arm drive from behind the clubshaft.

Pitch elbow is a pull with either the left side pivot and/or right arm sidearm pitch.

Hit vs Swing tipoff can be right elbow position at the release point. A pitch elbow is always a Swing and rarely if ever a Hit due to the nature of the "pulling vs. driving" physics.

He has a late release of the power package as it gets pulled into the release point (he says with the right arm), then a bunch of right arm "thrust" (more pulling) ensues. Classic Right Arm Swing. Don't confuse the term "thrust and drive" as it is used as a "feel" statement by the player. If the right forearm is still fanning once the right elbow becomes the swing center, then it is pulling not driving.

But hey - the dude might be Hitting with a dual wrist action and a pitch elbow with a sequenced release. Good deal!
