At Initiation

Looking at Ted Williams overhead page in Science of Hitting, it looks like when his back elbow comes in, the bat and the hips form a 90 degree angle, in other words, they're perpendicular to each other, for most of the swing until just before contact when the bat speeds out. Does the same thing apply to all good rotational hitter?
