I said no one swings OUTSIDE IN which is commonly known as swinging around the ball and is a major fault. But back to you point about hands leading the bat, which by the way is a linear approach, you should understand that players stay inside the ball and strive to make contact with the bat 90 degrees to the pitch. This is wehat is known as a compact swing. The only way to do this on an outside pitch using rotational mechanics is to let the ball get deeper on the plate. If you are advocating less than 90 degrees to the pitch, I doubt you will get anything but a weak ground ball or pop up. Again, how do you hit an outside pitch without it getting deeper on the plate?
