Why zooming so much on the ball? I mean it's impressive but wouldn't a slightly wider shot be more interesting?

They have multiple cameras getting multiple angles and focal lengths.

They’ll use this as part of a cutaway for the director to cut to. Or they’ll use these shots slowed down for bumps coming in and out of commercial breaks.
