Learned a new term today... Slug Bunt.

My son (12-year old) has a new Allstars coach this year from out of the area. An opposing player squared to bunt then pulled back to slap at the incoming pitch. This new coach about threw a tizzy... "That's a Slug Bunt! He's out! That was a Slug Bunt!"

The umpire, and nearly everyone else, said "A what?"

Anyway, the new coach came from Washington's Tri-cities area and was familiar with the Cal Ripken league there. From what he said this Slug Bunt is an illegal manouver and the penalty is that the batter is called out. "They are very serious about it in Cal Ripken League. Especially on a smaller diamond. The fielders all come in to get the bunt and then the batter slaps a hot hit at them. They could get hurt."

Okay. Well it is not illegal here.

I found it kind of funny. Has anyone ever heard of the term Slug Bunt? Is it really illegal in some leagues?
