I thought this angle was interesting. Look at how closed the shoulders are in the swing. Griffey used the stride to stretch the upperbody. He walks right into the swing.

edit: Also the swing is more about stretching and the sling shot effect. Just rotating body parts or only teaching rotation is incorrect.

Sling shot? I think you meant catapult.
I think if Griffey (and others) went to some hitting instructors would have him change a few things. Great eye hand and timing can make up for swing flaws.
