If your palms face in, the ball would hit the backs of your hands. Palms up means you are trying to trap the ball in your chest, and often results in the ball being batted up.
It's high school receiver type stuff.

How so? We are talking about making a catch. I'm not talking about your palms in as in towards your body. I'm talking about palms in in relation to the ball. Up - I'm trying to trap the ball against my body. In - I'm creating an "O" with my index fingers and thumbs and letting the ball slide in. Out, to me, sounds like you are signaling someone to stop or something.
