> What I would like to know, is how does he accomplish that? That must give him so much power because he really gets his back leg into it. How do you do this? Do you actually just try to force it down like that? Or does it happen from the reaction of another part in your swing? How do you get that?

It is the result of a very wide stance. If you emulate his swing in the batting cage, you may well find yourself doing the same thing.
