Swinging the bat too early can result in a miss or hitting the ball weakly, as it often leads to poor timing and incorrect bat placement. Conversely, swinging too late typically causes the bat to make contact with the ball after it has passed the ideal hitting zone, often resulting in a foul ball or a weak grounder. Both timing errors can negatively impact a player's ability to make solid contact and drive the ball effectively. Proper timing is crucial for maximizing power and precision in hitting.

Why are the speed and direction of a ball changed when a batter hits the ball?

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.
