>>> Like many cues they can have many meanings or interpretations,depending on how you see the swing evolve.To use it with rotational thoughts,it is not about the 1st movement it is about drawing the hands into a tighter hand path for a pitch on the inner 1/3rd of plate by contact so the swing can keep it fair,it can help some hitters with good mechanics think about the adjustment needed for the inside pitch. <<<

Hi Rql

Rotational mechanics is for both inside and outside pitches. If “keep your hands inside the ball” is about drawing the hands into a tighter hand path for a pitch on the inner 1/3rd of plate, how would you interpret its use for pitches away where the hands cannot be drawn into a tighter path?
