A push bunt is executed just like a sacrifice bunt except instead of “catching” the ball with soft hands to reduce the distance the ball travels, the bat is instead pushed out at the ball. The goal is to push the ball between either the pitcher and 1st baseman, or the pitcher and 3rd baseman.
The slap involves a shortened chop swing
combined with a crossover step. The ball is driven down into the ground,
causing it to pop up over the heads of the charging/shifting infielders.
