Let me rewrite and insert the definitions together.Im not sure what is circular about the definition of a bunt. A bunt is a deliberate attempt to tap the ball softly within the infield, if its not a bunt attempt then it is a swing.
The bunted 3rd strike rule was around a LONG LONG time before there was ever a slapper in softball.
A bunt is a batted ball that is not an attempt at the ball that is not a bunt ..
a swing is an attempt at a pitch that is not a batted that is not swung at.
Yes bunted 3rd strike rule long ago. The reason it came about it was without it the hitter had an unfair advantage to easily keep fouling off pitches.
