I don't see the resemblance, and it's obviously not the same picture.
My two cents:
I believe it is more likely a right-handed batter being shown in follow through than a lefty hitter. It seems to me more probable that in these "action" poses a lefty has his bat up and either on or over the shoulder, and not in mid or check-swing mode. Hardly scientific I know, but that's how I see this one-- a righty having completed his swing and watching where the ball went rather than a lefty watching the pitch coming in and focusing on making contact halfway through his swing.
