the spine is what gets loaded ‘around’ not the back leg.

every movement you create originates in the spine. But swinging a bat is different??? I don’t think so.

Yep the rear leg is used as part of swinging "down to" against the hips extending. Its why he doesn't fall.

I’m not saying there is no spinal engine. Although the rotational point is at the back hip and hands.

Hey I will settle this. The best hitters in the world have two legs and a spine. We good now or nah?

He is coiling around his spine here.

So stretching the core (obliques, etc.) ? What is it being stretched against ?

This is such a good example of the rotational breaks being applied by the hips extending against the swinging "down to" within the sagittal plane.
