You should really take your focus off your stance. People tend to get good at what they focus their efforts. The most important objective for a hitter is to hit the ball hard. Focus on seeing the ball well out of the pitchers hand and getting torque or leverage on the baseball. Rotational hitting is where your focus should be and you can find DVDs on this site explaining the concept. The most efficient way to learn rotational hitting is having a keen visualization of rotational hitting so study great hitters from the feet up to the head.
