Translation: Baseball Bat Lapel Choke from Standing Backpack with Outside Grip Feed
From standing backpack control the attacker feeds the near lapel using the outside hand to wrap over the collar, secures a cross-grip on the far lapel, establishes a strong outside bite, then rotates wrists and drives hips forward to apply a high-leverage lapel strangle while maintaining the standing anchor.
Variation developed within gi-based BJJ to utilize an outside lapel bite for different leverage and control dynamics compared to inside feeds; popularized in competition and instructional exchanges
The outside grip feed offers an alternative leverage angle that can be harder to defend for opponents who anticipate the inside feed, providing a complementary option in the baseball bat system. [1]
The outside grip feed variation uses a different collar grip entry for the baseball bat choke from standing back control. [1]
This variation appears at advanced gi BJJ competition. [1]

Outside feed provides a wider lapel bite useful when inside grip is blocked; still requires careful drilling and strict safety measures.
Turn your body as if you're holding a plate, then sink slightly while turning to establish the grip. Central Coast Self Defense emphasizes this plate-turning motion as the key to proper positioning.
Bring your elbows together to close off a small space where the neck sits, and constantly maneuver your opponent around to keep them off-balance, which makes it difficult for them to throw powerful strikes or escape.
Bring your foot closer to your opponent forward as they go down, and you can follow up with techniques like a hip toss to maintain control and prevent them from establishing a mounted or guard position.
