Funny, but when I first started looking at Vinnie's videos (that guy at Clinton videoed pretty much every batted ball it seems), the first thing I thought of was how he looked like a golfer launching a tee shot.
I didn't take a lot of time, and this isn't my thing, but taking Moe's examples was interesting:
Bubba Watson on this shot anyway wraps himself so far around he almost hits himself in the backside.
Dustin Johnson, on the other hand, barely goes past his shoulder on the backswing.
Ackley is more like the former; Vinnie is more like the latter.  Here's a HR from a direct angle.  The swing is almost so "casual" that you miss it altogether, and next thing you know it's over the fence.  Easy to see why scouts were fooled.  Also easy to see why pitchers are, too. 
Maybe Seager is "keep the bat in the zone" and Vinnie "get the ball out of the zone"?
