I am gradually coming to understand your hitting mechanics. So in this time, I feel like being able to write good article for giving you nice advice, may be.
First of all, at the present state of your hitting mechanics, compact, tight and strong swing without opening front leg can be said as your best swing.（I don't mean you should aim for getting the compact swing.)
In this movie, swing from 0.25 can comparatively be said as above mentioned good state.

By the way, primary problems of your hitting mechanics (move back action, open of front leg) has not been solved yet. So I will write about way of solution for these problems.
1) side-to-side swaying motion (swaying motion = 揺らぎ)
Major cause of move back action is in the process from swaying motion to start-of-hitting-mechanics. Following sequence photographs explains about it. Firstly, in the swaying motion, your weight is swaying side to side repeatedly like a metronome. Secondly, at just before the start (7 of photo), your weight load on front leg. Finally, hitting mechanics start up right after the loading on front leg. And as a result, your body comes to move back by rebound of swaying motion. Put simply, that is the cause of moving back action.
However, strictly speaking, you do not always start the hitting mechanics right after loading on front leg. Some times you start the hitting mechanics in correct rhythm. So above explain is nothing but just a conceptual thinking. Briefly speaking, your muscles and your motor nerves may be having the memory of that sort of rhythm as a result of past practice. So, for improving this problem, two step process will be needed.
step1 As a chrysalis stage, get the sense of start from stationary state.
step2 Imprint the new rhythm, new weight distribution and new loading position.

about the "step2"
Weight should be flowed along by the front diagonal line and the "twist" makes easy to incarnate this weight flow.
This drill means repeating four swings which has different concept each other.
swing1) This means swinging with getting a sense of grasping the ground by back leg. Of course, back leg's hip-joint-open which is caused by the twist is important in this swing. In the batting stance, you can feel standing with your back leg mainly.
swing2) This means swinging with getting a sense of weight flow which is going down along by the front diagonal line. And this diagonal line come to be felt clearly by twisting largely. in this batting stance, you should not load the weight on front leg's ball of thumb.
swing3) This means swinging with getting above two senses at the same time. And in this swing, taking a balance of sense1 and sense2 is a main theme.
swing4) This swing is performed as a SUBURI with low and wide batting stance (means usual batting stance of automatic step). And this swing means adjusting above senses into the usual batting stance.

swaying motion → static state → swing
In the case of you, time of static is somewhat short.

3) process of making a batting stance
In your case, from(1) to (2), both hip joints open equally, and next, from (2) to (3), you twist upper body.
On the other hand, in Jose Reyes Jr's (blue shirt kid) case, from (1) to (2), he makes a twist slightly at this phase.
Jose Reyes Jr is Right.
As explained in following photo of exercise, squat down and twist are formed simultaneously.
And a "motion of folding the body at hip joint after warping the body" ( in short, (1)~(2)) is a part of squat down phase. following illustration is explaining it. So, in this phase, forming the twist should be begun already.
For your information, this illustration means the correct process of making the batting stance. That is, from (1) to (2), stance is going down by folding motion of hip joint (after a warping motion), and from (2) to (3), stance is going down by swaying motion.
Then, in your case, in regard to this process, it's awesome. But timing of making the twist is too late. That twist should be formed in the phase from (1) to (3) gradually.

about the "step2"
Weight should be flowed along by the front diagonal line and the "twist" makes easy to incarnate this weight flow.
And of course, twist is accompanied by back leg's hip-joint-open. This hip joint open activate the hamstrings and gluteus maximus muscle. As a result, back leg comes to be able to grasp the ground without loading so much.
As a point of notice, weight (flowed along by front diagonal line) should not be loaded on ball of thumb strongly. It should be loaded on out edge mainly,
drill for getting above mentioned tips
So now, I suggest a new drill for getting above mentioned batting stance. First of all, this drill mainly use a batting tee and hit a ball with tall and narrow batting stance accompanied by the emphasized twist. (like a following photograph)
And in regard to the "tall and narrow batting stance accompanied by the emphasized twist", Yulieski Gourriel's batting stance is close to my meaning.
This drill means repeating four swings which has different concept each other.
swing1) This means swinging with getting a sense of grasping the ground by back leg. Of course, back leg's hip-joint-open which is caused by the twist is important in this swing. In the batting stance, you can feel standing with your back leg mainly.

swing4) This swing is performed as a SUBURI with low and wide batting stance (means usual batting stance of automatic step). And this swing means adjusting above senses into the usual batting stance.

2) about the rhythm
If you can get the sense of above batting stance, you will be able to keep a static state more easily while waiting for a pitch.
In the case of you, time of static is somewhat short.
