I just read the section about rotation on a stationary axis. My question about it is though, does it matter what angle it is at (the bottom part of the angle being the ground of course)?

I saw the "hitters notebook" for todd helton, on ESPN. He is angled way, way back away from the pitcher. I think this causes more homeruns, and high fly balls to right (hes lefty). He did say he had to work on going the other way, could his tilt back be a reason for this?
