"""Your contention that batters should rotate about a posted lead side, “like a swinging gate,” may be true for batters who were taught to make a strong aggressive stride (Charlie Lue style). However, video analysis shows that it is not the case with today’s batters who move forward very little."""

I agree 100%

"""They rotate about the center of their body (the spine) more like a “revolving door.”"""

I disagree. I say they rotate about the ball and socket joint of the rear hip.
