I have never heard that phrase before but looks like those who say it are breaking up the swing into two parts. The swing should always be one fluid motion. Now, I have been at bats where I was fooled with off speed pitches and my front foot dropped early but if you are good enough, you still have time to make the adjustment, time it right with slight pause, then continue your swing with upper body, and still rake.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I completely agree... I think that "getting your front foot down early" breaks the rhythm and fluid motion that a swing should have!

[@joefoley6476]

Can u add a video about some differences in swinging with 2 hands and letting go with 1 to finish.mookie betts is a 2 handed swinger that doesn't completely finish.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I like that idea, Joe! I'll try to make that happen

[@scottrockers]

Great Tips, I was just thinking about my front leg kick and the timing on it.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks for watching, Scott!

[@fpowell02]

Great vid!!I think that people get confused with getting your front down early, having the stride foot down before you start your hip rotation....need that firm front...

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@jraymond8528]

Lol this is great, my hs coach preaches foot down early, we’re talking pitchers arm at the top of his throwing motion early if that makes sense. Absolutely no power or rhythm to the swing at all, makes the swing feel awful. Was watching mlb swings the other day and NONE get their foot down early, thank you👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@gregorybyers6481]

Awesome video, great stuff!!

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thanks Gregory! I appreciate it!

[@charleshsieh8799]

Great content! But I am still confused about some thing! If you do a toe tap does that mean you lose your momentum?

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Great question. No, because the toe tap is essentially still part of your loading phase. Your toe hits the ground, then you still shift your weight towards the pitcher. Lots of players have success using a toe tap approach!

[@mikekaighn5581]

This is just a timing issue. Start your launch and get in rhythm with the pitcher. Stride when the pitcher strides is a good pointer. A good hitter will time a pitcher and practice his timing in the on- deck circle.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I agree, using on-deck time wisely is very important! Thanks for the support!

So how do you explain to your son's coach that his soft toss drill of getting that front foot down, stopping, and restarting? makes for awkward situation.

[@216Daidai]

Can you make a video on not moving your front foot at all? I have a habit of moving my front foot against a fast pitcher.. any tips will help. Thanks

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Can you provide a little more detail? What specifically do you mean that you have a habit of moving your front foot against a fast pitcher?

[@216Daidai]

My coaches told me not to step back to stride forward when I swing and I noticed that I step out with my front foot when I only go against a fast pitcher. I also don't do It on purpose.Is it because Ive been hit alot and it's just me being nervous of getting hit again? Any advice will help I have a game tonight against a pitcher who throws 85+ fastballs..

[@mixgamerchannle895]
