Interesting nuance. When hitting a baseball, you want your weight shifting from rear foot to front, but almost all your weight still on the rear foot at impact, and front foot taking all the weight immediately after impact.  The idea is that as soon as your front foot starts bearing weight, you start slowing your forward momentum. (and, obviously, the goal of the pitcher is to disrupt this balancing act; they want you hitting off your front foot, hitting with your arms/wrists instead of the whole body).
