It tells me the hitter Is leveraging both legs... Very powerful movement. It allows the upper body to have something to resist against...

Who is that? Is it Molitor?
He has a barred front arm, and is as typical and I have said before from the beginning of the barred-arm issue, the bat-head is released early and there is almost zero bat-lag. As a result he struggles to check his swing. His backside holding back sure helped or he could not have been able to check his swing.

The first swing is similar to #4's swing. The next are hitters showing the bat staying in bat lag next to the back shoulder until the back elbow drops to connection, "slot", at the back hip.
