ASA Test Question 38SP: Batter swings slowly

Originally posted by Bluefoot
ASA Test Question # 38SP (Slow Pitch only): The batter swings very slowly at a pitch and, on contact, the ball rolls out in front of the plate. This action is legal.

Has anyone ever seen a Slow Pitch batter swing very slowly? And was a bunt/batter out ruled in that case?

Thanks.

As a matter of fact, yes I did. Saw it last year at a slowpitch tournament. And boy did the defensive team come unglued about it. They wanted to know why I didn't call the batter out for bunting the ball. Told them I didn't call batter out because he didn't bunt the ball. He actually swung (slow, but still swing). Told coach nothing in rule book about how fast or slow a batter can swing the bat. He didn't like my answer, but had to accept it.
