The following are simply observations derived from my own experience as having been a pitcher and observations made while working with others. In general, the internal hip thrust (rotation), as some call it, in elite pitchers start and stop somewhere from the 12 o’clock to the 9 o’clock arm progress points regardless of whether the pitcher replants or not. Also, the amount of hip turn varies among different pitchers and is usually very short and abrupt in nature for most. This hip thrust or jolt is not very evident in such pitchers as Christa Williams, Michelle Granger and Finch for example. Some pitchers don’t even feel this happening while it doesn’t feel like a hip rotation but rather a natural jolt given by the hips. I don’t know if there is data actually supporting any relation between amount of hip turn and speed. Some of the fastest pitchers in the world were completely sideways at release while others had their hips partially turned. The internal rotation of the pivot leg can also vary and not always correspond to the actual amount of hip rotation depending on the pitcher. The second phase of hip rotation happens mostly after release and is part of the follow-through. Pitchers who replant do so at around the 12 o’clock arm position in both male and female. Those who do not replant have a hip thrust while the pivot foot is in the process of dragging forward and the stride foot is still in the air. In other words their hip thrust happens while neither foot is planted on the ground. The above examples do not usually apply to steppers. That's the way I perceived things over the years and perhaps slo-mo video can shed even more light to the subject.
