Mechanism and Bio-Correlates of the Corner
Cabrerra launches two levers simultaneously. These competitively act on the same fulcrum in creating a "bind". This is "hip socket separation".
That hip action occurs at the bottom end of a torsion bar. That bar is primed during the load in which upper torso components will lock the scapula into the spine. This upper-end torque positions the hand set in proximity to the shoulder in preparation for the hand swivel, thereby keeping the anatomical relationships fused throughout the phase of "overlap", at the top of the torsion bar where forces are ultimately released.
The high level hitter "Unloads" into the "Load" during "Overlap". The hand set swivels REARWARD into the direction of the vertical wrench as it is being opposed by the action of the horizontal wrench.
The high level hitter assembles a system of levers acting on the principle of resistance. The hitter "de-torses" and does not rotate when he swings.
The challenge for the amateur is the production of a horizontal torque in the rear leg, that operates directionally against the vertical torque of "fused" upper torso components. All of baseball will teach rotation in the lower half, or rotation in the upper half, or both, in a timely "sequence". In the high level swing, the only component that rotates is the hand-swivel, and it must go REARWARD. I submit this to be baseball's PARADOX: Levers, simultaneous action, rearward. The product gives us the "sequence" that we see on surface.
By the way, the torsion bar has a name. It is called the SCIP axis (SCapula-rear hIP). The spine is bypassed, but facilitatory and NOT the axis of rotation.
