How important is the front step?

Posted by: Adam (imirish62@yahoo.com) on Wed May 6 03:03:30 2009

I know the shorter the step, the better... but would it hurt to not even step at all? I've noticed some pro hitters merely just lift the back of their foot in the air while keeping the front on the ground.

I was just wondering if it really matters.
