Think in terms of catching the ball out in front of you with the bat. To get the barrel of the bat into that position the hand path needs to be one of tight to the body and the hands have to "Fish Hook" around the front as you rotate.
When I say fish hook that is the hand path for the inside pitch. It looks like a fish hook. This will put the barrel of the bat out front quicker to the contact point out. A must for the inside pitch.
Try hard not to let the front shoulder open too soon. If it does your looking a a long foul ball instead of one down the line or maybe even over the fence.
