lmao. I’m not yoda. I’m trying real hard here. I guess we can put this on the shelf until some other time.
Here is an edit I made after you responded. A) Do you agree with the premise and b) is related to what you are asking?

To me, the more important question is the hitter balanced, e.g. the COG is between the feet, when they are ready to launch

Disclaimer: ‘balanced’ can mean 5 different things. But yes. And isn’t it always? Needed. but kinda obvious. That alone doesn’t help. It’s about the capture and the transfer. Look at the flow.

This has little to do with the post but i like the way Machado back foot is toed in. It creates coil with less movement and keep head(eyes) quieter. That is a great swing.

it does help for players w a lot IR mobility in the back hip.it brings it back to a manageable level. It destroys a guys glute load if they’re tight in that hip joint. It also gives a sense of tension or load. But it doesn’t load anything. Nimo.

edit: not in a literal sense.
