Whats the ruling when a slap hitter just sticks their bat out their with very little follow through on a third strike and fouls the ball off. I see this happen occasionally and the umpire never calls it a bunt. Is this addressed in a rule book?
I think its a judgement call, but just because a hitter is moving and she doesnt follow through with the bat, shouldnt this still be called a bunt?
Just curious what umpires think about this situation. It might be one of those things hard to judge.
