If baseball hitters don't pivot on/from their back leg/foot when they are hitting, then what would you call it?
.
Back leg pivot is simply improper teaching of a baseball swing to give a false sense of power from the hips. The "squish the bug" rear foot motion to torque the hips doesn't add a significant amount of power and is really akin to "spinning out" in a disc golf throw.
High level hitter are weight shifting forward into their plant foot de-weighting their rear foot, and creating linear momentum.

That posture is key, getting weight onto the front foot.
