I agree that the supination/pronation is a quicker and stronger move. I see most MLB players today us mostly supination type swings movements. Yet you see a lot of old timers use a combination of both more in line with what Antonelli promotes.

I think it's important to note the relative movement ranges.
In radial/ulnar deviation the range is only 75 degrees or so.
With pronation/supination the range is more like 180 degrees.
The ability to view this rapid motion in 1000 fps video allows us to see exactly what's happening and I think it's why there will be more and more hard hit balls as folks buy into the theory. There will always bethe conventional theorist hard-heads who will find exceptions where someone like Trout goes yard with less than optimal efficiency, failing to take into account his size and athleticism.
My dd used to complain about my pursuit of perfection in her swing. With her power she could hit towering pop ups that would go yard and low line drives with the same result. Ultimately, when she faced higher and higher level pitching, the flaws were exposed.

Washington with tilt.Is DiCarlo doing the Antonelli, or the Washington with tilt?
