Having a hard time pulling the ball

so I'm off to a pretty good year this year but I'm having the same problem I have had for a couple years, in that I'm having trouble pulling the ball. I do fine on balls middle away but middle in I tend to just shoot through the right side instead of pulling with power like I used to. Faced a pretty slow thrower the other day, and first swing of the game I took him deep barely over the fence in right, but on a pitch middle in. Great result but wouldn't hold up against a better pitcher or a field with larger dimensions. 

I've tried starting earlier, tried using more top hand, even just tried swinging earlier and trying to yank pitches to left but nothing has worked, just made me worse at going the other way. It's almost like I'm taking an inside out swing on every swing, and my bat head isn't catching up to my hands. Any ideas on a fix for this?
