Gurriel's belt and barrel start turning before shoulders do. It's the hands and the rear leg doing the work and torso resisting.

Gotcha, and I actually knew that was your point of view but during a moment senility, didn't make the connection. Thanks.
Is the torso going for a ride IYO. In the Catapult System the spine engine and springy fascia power the swing. There is compressing of the spring which could be called resisting.
From everything I've heard and studied, it's naive to focus on a body part. the back leg, hands, hips, etc. The whole is more important then the sum. Not saying your doing that, just never understood how the torso resists. I think there is stability, for example the upper thorax, for the shoulders/arms to work against. But I don't think resisting is the same as stability.
Buttermaker,
Can you explain how the torso resists in an easy to understand manner?

Not Butter, however....
In a HL swing, do the hips, and shoulders turn forward at the same time?
If you say, "yes"...then I might suggest you look closer at HL hitters. If you say, "no"...then what turns forward first, and what prevents (or "resists") the other from turning forward at the same time?
" and what prevents (or "resists") the other from turning forward at the same time?"
Muscles. Abs/Obliques
Muscles. Abs/Obliques
The opposite and equal reaction is the hips opening and the shoulders closing. As far as your question I answered that in my response, the opposite and equal reaction,

Zackly...and whether one thinks it's right or wrong, the "torso" is used by some to mean the same thing as "Abs/Obliques" generally speaking. So to put it another way...
Question: "Can you explain how the torso resists in an easy to understand manner?"
Answer: "Muscles. Abs/Obliques (IOWs, the "torso").
