I think the feet should point to the throwing arm or release point of the pitcher. THere are two areas of the body worth considering....the line of the feet and the tracking of the head with two eye contact.

These anatomical parts control the top and bottom of the spine. In order to be a good hitter one must load/ coil against the line of direction maintained by these two points.

So, I draw a line for the feet to the throwing arm and tell the batter to make two eye contact ( face facing release window)and load against these points without giving them up. Anything else with be counter rotation and loss of stored evergy.
