February 24Feb 24 Both of those are applicable. I said that phrase meaning both of those things multiple times today during practice. They sorta mean the same thing but I guess could apply to your hands and not your weight. Edited February 24Feb 24 by hobbes2702

That dreaded feeling after you two hopped one to the short stop on an off speed pitch.
February 24Feb 24 It means both. You wait on the pitch so you transfer your weight at the proper time.
February 24Feb 24 It's what some African-Americans will say to encourage others to be true to the culture.
February 24Feb 24 Means let the ball get to you so don't lunge at it, so it's kinda both. Wait on the pitch with your "weight back"

I was going more for the double entendre of it all with the other thing you usually hear shouted at some poor 9-year-old. I'm pretty familiar with the concept of the kinetic chain.

February 25Feb 25 They're not always the same. Sometimes you let the ball get deep but your wrists, and therefore your power, are not behind the ball. I.e. for a right handed hitter hitting an outside pitch to right field.
