So much for dumbing it down.....Ok so to transmit force and distribute strain, the body uses a series of fascial slings and chains. There are six, the back line, front line, lateral line. spiral line. back functional line and deep front line.
these allow muscle contractions to affect another muscle that it attaches to through fascia. There are receptors in the muscles called golgi tendons which respond to stretch. When the muscles fibers of the second muscle stretch, a signal is sent neurologically to the spinal cord which elicits a motor neuron to fire the muscle that is stretched. Thus, a contraction in ‘A’ muscle can help facilitate a contraction in ‘B’ muscle. This is the fascial chain at work aka kinetic chain.
goggle ‘fascial lines’ for a visual.

I think you are close to realizing that the core does not turn the hips.
If you realize that(for a right randed batter) the right leg pushes(by pulling on bones) the right side of the pelvis forward and the front leg stops and pushes(by pulling on bones) the left side of the pelvis rearward you will see how rotation happens. Hip rotation is from legs.
And in the swing this hip roation happens so obliques can pull against.
Hip rotation happens to keep obliques stretched so they can keep pulling.
Muscles only pull.
To argue otherwise is wrong.

i don’t think it’s that simple. In fact I know it’s not. The legs don’t open to drag the bat around. Look at the angle of Miggys pelvis. It’s closed at foot down.His front leg is closed.
He is creating stretch through the opposite leg and shoulder. He is compressing his core against his front hip. It’s not open up from the ground up and hold on to your turn.
This is really bad.
This is really good
Can't you see that when the obliques contract, the shoulders turn, not the pelvis? Look at Miggy's pelvis at the point when you think his obliques are contracting. Why doesn't his pelvis keep rotating?Bonesaw the result after contraction occurs is the hips will open.
Here is an example of the legs turning the hips open
vs contracting obliques
Feel vs. Reali tried. I really did.
