This amount is not for everyone, but having internal hip rotation to some degree can help add some more power to your swing. The upper half can’t rotate as far as the hips are though otherwise you’ll spin off the ball. | The Hitting Vault | Facebook

Take a look at the controlled internal hip rotation, showing the pocket to the pitcher. And how Torres maintains his upper half position (front shoulder down and in) when his heel hits. This pitch is middle out, so you’re going to see that back elbow work a little further from his core than you would on an inside pitch with his torso tilting to help his body stay on plane. | The Hitting Vault
