Either way is bad terminology. You're right that "checking your swing" is coach-speak. But completing your swing is a non-thing as well.

All that matters is whether the batter was attempting to hit the pitch, or had abandoned that attempt, at the time the ball hit her. Whatever terminology you need to convey that - feel free.
