What is a "bunt"?
A bunt in baseball or softball is when the batter lightly taps the ball with the bat, rather than swinging at it. The goal is to gently push the ball into play, often to advance a runner on base or to surprise the defense. A bunt is typically used in situations where the batter wants to sacrifice their turn at bat for the benefit of the team, such as moving a runner into scoring position. The batter holds the bat still and makes contact with the ball, usually near the tip of the bat, to keep the ball from going too far.
