A curve is the time to turn on the pitch. A good hitter will stride, read the curve, wait for the break, and react to the pitch.
Usually there is no time to back out from a breaking ball. Thats why you roll with it.

I should have been more clear, I mean a big looping curve that the batte turns a shoulder into intentionally to get hit. My illustration was intended to describe a hitter turning into a fastball for protection rather than turning into a pitch for a free base. I won't penalize a hitter for hanging in on a good quality.
