The two sentences create a non-statement.
If the weight is on the front leg, it is on the front leg.
If the back foot is off the ground and the front foot is on the ground, the entire body weight is supported by the front foot.
Not necessarily. You can stand on one foot and make much of your weight come off of your foot by starting to jump, but not leaving the ground. Also, even if you do make a complete jump, the weight on your foot will start to decrease all the way up to the time you leave the ground. This is also the case of Hank Aaron and Chipper Jones, the weight is leaving the back foot and being switched to the front foot, but not all since much of the weight/momentum is being used to hit the ball and swing the bat, so much will be going toward the direction of the hit at contact.
