What that means is when you are swinging you need to take your front foot, raise it in the air, and right as you are bringing your bat around, re-plant your foot. By doing this you are giving your swing extra power. This is vital if you ever plan on hitting the ball out of the infield. Some players like Matt Holliday are known to take a huge step but others like Chase Utley are known to take a little step. But all major league baseball players do it.
