a point between the hands may be a theoretical limit.Experiments would be
good.

This study is for slowpitch and found that the center of rotation at impact was
about 2.5 inches off the end of the bat with most swings within a 4 inch radius
of this. I would speculate that shortening this onto the bat,perhaps as far
between the hands would quicken the swing.
