When the player makes any contact of the ball with the bat, regardless of the extent of his swing. Also, if the player moves the bat forward and either breaks his wrists or the bat's path carries it beyond home plate.

What will happen if you stop your baseball swing in the middle?

If you stop your baseball swing in the middle and the ball is not in the strike zone, an umpire will look at your wrists. If your wrists are "broken" it is a strike. That means the position of your wrists determine if you took a swing or not. If they are still in the same position as they normally are before you take a swing, you did not swing. If your wrists are in the position they would be in after you took a swing, you took a swing.
