To me, 'open' is facing 3B, and 'closed' is facing the batter. It seems that you're saying the opposite. Let's clear that up first.

Right. I think the common terminology as that the hips start in the closed position facing 3rd base for a right-handed pitcher and then open toward the batter. If I've got that backwards than I've had a lot of embarrassing arguments over the years with people who probably actually agree with me.
