"spinal rotation to get the barrel to the ball."
I think the pelvis rotates around the torsos center (spine) in a lot of successful ML swings. I think taking one very successful swing model (BB) and saying its the only way to be an elite or high level or whatever other name you want to put on it is wrong. Do you think BB's hand pumping pre launch should be taught as an absolute? Probably not. Why? Not a source of power? Its a source of timing. Timing is important. BB had excellent timing, right? I see more ML hitters that do not swivel around the rear hip than do. If fact I would contend (with no actual proof) that if BB had shifted a little and swung his pelvis around his mass he would have hit the ball farther. LOL
