When I say rear leg I am mostly referring the upper leg and hip rear hip joint....and really the muscles in that area....there is assistance from the ground as well as assistance in the muscles in your back down to your arse...
But, regardless all you have to do is try it the way I said....the rear leg / hip joint drive the hips....throw a ball, swing the bat....feel it.
Why would you want to pull the rear leg around with your hips...seems tiresome....

The rear hip and rear leg do not fuse.
We (me, you and rhc) are saying basically the same thing. Or, at least, we agree that the hip has a ball joint connecting the leg.
Where we have a difference of opinion is that the rear leg (primarily) drives the hip. I believe the hip (primarily) pulls the leg. Although that is not the hip's main objective, but rather an effect.
Try this: lay down on your side and rotate the hip forward, using the hip. Did you need your leg to do that? The leg internally rotated; not on it's own primarily, and not because it is fused to the hip, but because of the muscular structure involved in the hip turning action.
Perhaps we are putting too much emphasis on the skeletal support. It's the muscles that should be the focus.
