I think Yoda is referring to the fact that for the hitter there is a slight holding back of the right shoulder as the hips slide. This momentary pause allows the right arm to drive off the right shoulder and then thrust towards the ball.
I am not a hitter but that that is what I got from the video.

No it doesn't. The word you are looking for is crank.

Crank - Noun
A device for transmitting rotary motion, consisting of a handle or arm attached at right angles to a shaft.

For me it sounds like Yoda says: "He cranks" (about the hitter). So here it must be a verb.
