It's basic physics and depends on the speed of the swing, the mass of the bat,(kinetic energy) and the angle at which the ball was hit. The direction the ball travels largely depends on whether the swing was early or late (angle change) but you must also consider ball rotation, wind speed (and the occasional pigeon..lol) Simply put lets say the ball was thrown at a tremendous speed and therefore had more kinetic energy then your swing. It would then be you and your bat changing speed and direction instead of the ball.

Why does a golf ball accelerates when either if speed or direction changes?
A change in speed or direction of a golf ball causes a net force to act on it. According to Newton's second law of motion, this net force results in an acceleration of the golf ball in the direction of the applied force. This acceleration causes the golf ball to speed up or change its direction.
What happens to a soccer ball if you apply a force?
If you apply a force to a soccer ball, it will accelerate in the direction of the force. The speed and direction of the ball will depend on the magnitude and direction of the force applied.
How does the batter change the direction of where the ball is batted?
Once a ball has been batted, he/she may not do anything to change the course of the ball.
How do you pitch a Wiffle Ball?
By throwing the ball in the general direction of the batter with an intent to make him/her miss and "wiff" at the pitch.
When a footballer heads a ball his head puts a force on it This force affects the ball in 3 ways What are they?
1) speed 2) direction 3) shape
What does a golf ball do when either it's speed or direction changes?
The Golf ball Stops
What is the horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball?
The horizontal component of the initial velocity of the ball is the velocity in the horizontal direction at the moment the ball is launched. It represents the speed and direction at which the ball is moving side-to-side.
When a football player kicks the ball he only changes its speed?
When a football player kicks the ball, he not only changes its speed but also its direction. The force applied during the kick accelerates the ball, altering its velocity. Additionally, the impact can impart spin, affecting the ball's trajectory and behavior in the air. Thus, both speed and direction are modified in the process.
When batter hits a baseball with a bat the bat exerts a force on the ball does the ball exert a force on the bat?
Yes, when the batter hits the baseball with the bat, the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the bat due to Newton's third law of motion. This means that while the bat exerts a force on the ball to propel it forward, the ball simultaneously exerts an equal force back on the bat. This interaction is crucial in determining the outcome of the hit, including the ball's speed and direction.
When you throw a ball your hand applies blank to the ball?
When you throw a ball, your hand applies force to the ball. The force propels the ball forward, giving it speed and direction.
Picture a ball traveling at a constant speed around the inside of a circular structure Is the ball accelerating?
Yes, the ball is accelerating because acceleration refers to any change in speed or direction of an object, regardless of whether the speed is constant. In this case, the ball is constantly changing its direction as it moves around the circular structure, leading to a change in velocity and therefore acceleration.
How will the speed of a ball thrown upward and a ball thrown downward compare upon striking the ground?
The speed of a ball thrown upward upon striking the ground will be the same as the speed at which it was thrown, but in the opposite direction. The speed of a ball thrown downward upon striking the ground will be faster than the speed at which it was thrown due to the acceleration from gravity.
