is the way he grips the bat. If you watch him, you can see he slides his right hand midway up the bat’s barrel.
Then he adjusts when the pitch is on the way, like most batters do. But still, one of the stranger starting positions I’ve ever seen.

someone who works in a morgue once commented that

the workers refer to cadavers who have been there a while as “gamers”
