The core muscles are stabilizers first.
That is why bridges and planks are so crucial for core strength. But, if you look at the anatomy of the core muscles and their actions, about 70 percent or so involve rotating but not at the expense of rotating at the lumbar spine or lower back.
So, you should include anti-rotation exercises where you rotate from the waist up, but not at the lumbar spine.
The core musculature is then forced to stabilize against an aggressive or fast rotational force or collision, whether it is in sport or in life.
Exercises such as half kneeling cable pressouts and goblet squats with pressout are both great choices.
