Why wouldn't the #4 occurrence be a violation in Slow Pitch, especially in cases when stealing is allowed. Was it written before stealing was considered for SP rules?

#4 – “(Fast Pitch) On a swing or attempted bunt, the catcher or any other fielder prevents the batter from hitting the ball, touches the batter or their bat with a runner on third base trying to score on a squeeze play or a steal”

they cant leave the base till the ball crosses the plate in slow pitch with stealing. modified they can leave on release like fastpitch
