Chris' homerun he just hit in the ALCS is a great example of adjusting to an 0-2 change up the correct way. Most amateur hitters continue to move their body weight forward and lose all ability to use their lower half in the swing. Chris has awesome depth to his swing so he keep a strong bent back elbow as he just continues to rotate his back shoulder to the ball. The extension your see in the last frame is done well after the ball has made contact with the bat. You can see in the still frames below how Chris moves to contact and how at contact his back shoulder is more forward then it would be if he had perfect timing. Chris' back shoulder movements allow him to stay in the zone a long time and continue to be in a position of strength with his top arm.
