I just watched a few videos of Chelsor hitting. It appears that his initial load/pinch is very good, but he still sometimes bars his arms, especially his left one creating that chopping wood technique that DJ referenced. When he keeps it up with his right arm down and in he drives the ball very well.
I haven't seen any video of him from the minors, but it's apparent that he has been working on "building a house," but reverts to the arm bar on occasion. I noticed the arm bar most frequently when he was fooled on inside pitches creating jam shots the other way. Those blue jays hitters have been so successful crowding the plate expecting the inside (to their position) pitch and keeping the left arm high and right arm down for a while now.
Mantle is probably the best example of it, but Josh Donaldson has been killing with it as well.
