First, given all the blurring this is a particularly bad clip to base this argument on.
Second, a side on view is the worst possible angle to judge the hand path.
Here's a much better clip to judge Pujols' hand path...
Good clip! Knob goes straight to the ball from go until top hand fires. Extension will look different on an inside pitch because the back arm will need to stay bent slightly or the pitch will be hit foul. You still need to square up on the ball. The stills I provided are of a pitch down the middle which compare to the soft toss to the kid.
