I think you your right, with the batter on the left driving the ball more parallel to the ground and the guy on the right has the home run trajectory....In throwing it's probably a combination of trajectory, thoracic extension, and what degree of external rotation of the shoulder the person is...
Thanks for the extra explanation. The loaded spring analogy makes perfect sense, I'm going to use that, but at some point the shoulder/elbow/forearm goes from relatively passive (resisting external rotation) to some degree of activity as you enact/explode the muscles towards internal rotation...
