You cannot step to where the pitch is and be successful. Every hitter in the Majors strides to the same point every time no matter the location (unless they know where it is going to be pitched). Ted Williams talks about this in his book. If your timing is right, your stride foot will get down with the ball about halfway to the plate. Any later than that and IMO you have no shot at making contact.

I do agree that you should teach from the feet on up, but telling a hitter to change his stride depending on the location of the pitch is wrong IMO.
