Two-Legged Hitting is an approach to the baseball and fast pitch softball swing that focuses on both halves of the High Level Pattern, the creation of Power and Adjustability.

The idea is to create swing that excels both when it comes to Power and Average.

Pujols started out as a two-legged hitter.

It's one way of describing the first half of Ted Williams' swing.

The idea was to power the swing with the large muscles of the core and legs rather than the small muscles of the arms, hands, and forearms.

However, and as Ted Williams admitted, the advent of the Slider changed everything for him; it made a One-Legged Swing no longer viable.

One-Legged = Coil

The reason why people focus on One-Legged Hitting is because it can help hitters learn a key concept...

However, there's more to the High-Level Pattern than Coil and Power, as Albert Pujols' career demonstrates clearly.
