A misconception about hip-shoulder separation is that it MUST happen over an extreme ROM to be effective. The truth is that for every pitcher that creates massive separation, there’s another one that is successful with less (great example: @Mike_Soroka28). (1/3) @PitchingNinja
And, hitters generate elite rotational power without extreme separation because of the reactive nature of facing unpredictable pitching. Effective hip-shoulder separation is much more about:

1️⃣finding the motion in the right places (2/3)
2️⃣having adequate control of all involved joints

3️⃣generating and transferring sufficient force from the ground up.
