Rdbass school me on swinging out from the body. I want to see if we see it the same way. I think this clip is a good example of swinging out from the body. I've heard you mention this many times so I wanted to provide this clip for you to breakdown.

First gif pair isn't a good comparison, the point of contact is clearly off in each by about 3 inches? Next, if I were to use the belly button reference they both have rotated quite significantly and are at about the same point of contact, pointing towards the pitcher.
Second gif to me looks like the front elbow tracks differently, although the tee is alos at the same height as the game pitch. Tee hit the front elbow tracks flatter, game pitch is more up (perhaps to get on plane with the pitch).

I agree that good hitters will swing "out from" their body towards all pitch locations. The difference is in how much body rotation occurs before the "out from" happens.
When I was in little league (a long, long, long time ago), my coach always preached "short to -- long through". I still see this as a valid cue and relates well to the "out from" thoughts.
Wave,
IMO whether the pitch is inside or outside players in the high level pattern swing "out from" their body. Stanton has a spinal axis. He swings around his spine. Cabrera has a rear hip pivot point. He swing out from his body on all pitches. Pitch location doesn't determine around or out from.
Good observation. The hands/barrel/bat path can give you a good indication if someone is swinging around or out from. With a hand pivot point the front elbow "works up" on most pitches. With a spinal axis the front elbow will be lower.
Cabrera inside
Cabrera has several pivot points.
Curious if you see a front hip pivot point in this swing you posted?
