I think this is what the front foot closed is all about for those that teach it, but I don't see this problem with my students. If a hitter is taught to use his hips correctly, the position of the front foot is not that critical.

If I look at this hitter:

At toe touch, what do you see? To me the appearance of front toe closed. Naturally, I can't argue that he rotates into heel plant. I'd suggest that while I can't read his mind or feel what he feels, his intent at lift was to land front toe closed. Of course I'm not mind reader and so take that for what it is worth.
