How do you bat a curveball that has a curve inwards and upwards and towards the center of the swing?

Curve a soccer ball by changing where it hits the top of your foot, if you want to curve it downwards bounce it against the ground at a angle so it spins and then kick the shit out of it so hit the goalie on the head

Sit on (anticipate) that pitch or at least read that it's not a fastball out of the hand. at the highest levels teams have scouting reports on pitchers down to the rpm of each pitch.

Not discrediting your theory, but a curveball avg speed in the league allows a batter roughly 0.5 seconds to respond and swing. Reading the pitcher and pitches are undoubtedly a factor in batter swing, but given the trajectory and batter swing time, MLB hitters have less than a half second to decide to swing and make contact. Home runs are a byproduct of super human skill and insane luck with a small amount of prediction skill. Baseball is a hell of a sport lmao
