What do you like? For instance is this a good swing of being FYB?

i know what you’re getting at. Yes it’s is. The foot doesn’t have to be on the ground to be FYB. It’s truly not a position it’s more of a fully loaded feel w the ability to put the foot down and wait if need be. The weight stays inside the pelvis the entire time. That’s my interpretation.

I believe that is Jared Walsh of the Angels. He has recently toned down his leg kick and has actually became a much better hitter.

Walsh replaced his high leg kick with a toe tap. Instead of wiggling his bat behind his head and dropping his hands nearly to his waist as he loaded his swing, Walsh adopted a more quiet pre-swing setup, his hands rarely straying too far from his left shoulder.

I mean technically as soon as the front foot hits the ground there is pressure on it but I don't think that was the spirit of your question...
