The American Baseball Coaches Association has some outstanding videos on their YouTube channel. I like this one A LOT! I see hitters at all levels load, stride, and put themselves into poor hitting positions. This coach from the Kansas City Royals does a great job of explaining this drill and why it is so important for all hitters.

Who you got?
You need to go down to Knute Nelson next Monday and cheer on your favorite department!

I have seen them both hit and... I don't know, it could go either way. The LEOs have some sluggers... but so does the FD.
