"By tilting the torso, you mean bending over (with your knees bent of course) while keeping your elbow bent and connected to your side, correct?"

Yes. You have to tilt out over the plate.

In terms of the back elbow, to reach the outside pitch you may have to let it come away from the side slightly.

That's what Delgado is doing in the photo below to get to a ball that's low and away.

Anti-Spambot Question:

This song is traditionally sung during the 7th inning stretch?
   All My Roudy Friends
   Take Me Out to the Ballgame
   I Wish I was in Dixie
   Hail to the Chief
