Slapper attempting bunt with 2 strikes

[Vertigo]

If you are slapping at a ball then stop before you make contact so you can just tap it...then you aren't slapping with a bunt
result. You stopped the swing so you are now bunting

Wish my dd had the talent to do this - but when she half swings and makes contact the ball is definitely not dying like a bunt - it is going to the 5/6 hole, especially with today’s bats. That is the preferred result of a soft slap and where the hitter typically directs the ball when she doesn’t fully swing through.

I’ve seen girls full out swing and the ball will die just in front of the plate. The “swunt.” Not the planned result but it just happens sometimes. Should they be called out after 2 strikes?

Not if it is in front of the plate.

Got me there!

But I’m sure you get what I was trying to allude to. Let’s just assume the swunt spun foul.

Something about that word that just doesn’t seem like you should be saying it ...

Was told if the feet are moving on a bunt attempt then a foul ball with two strikes is not an out? Happened this past week

It should be if the wrist twist that's a slap hit that's the different between a bunt and a bunt

"swing" is the key word.

"swing" is the key word.

Yeah I get it - and a slapper who is stopping their swing half way to make contact is still swinging, not bunting. It looks like a check-swing. But we can agree to disagree.
