The back leg is important for multiple reasons. 1. It's your push or thrust leg. Then the body gets open and the back hip/leg should follow the ball. Think of it as though your hip is pushing the ball. That mindset will help to not close the door, hold the leg back disallowing power. I'm trying to think of a part of the body that isn't involved with each pitch. To get your maximum power, the entire body is necessary. Except maybe the appendix. Nobody knows what that's for anyway.

Acts kind of like a rudder....if your body is all over the place, the ball will be all over the place.
