Definition: A pitched (sic, should be batted) ball that is INTENTIONALLY tapped with the bat, slowly, WITHIN THE INFIELD. OP has batter popping up to shallow right field. How can that be classified as a bunt, no matter what the batter did to get it there??

I guess I've never noticed the second part you marked there and while it's difficult to imagine it coming into play would you ignore it if it did. Situation. *-2 count and batter decides to bunt anyway. Third baseman seeing this breaks in hard and the batter decides to bunt as hard as possible in an attempt to get past the third baseman. The ball is popped up over the third baseman and lands foul in the outfield. Ruling? |

Frankly never noticed the "fair" requirement before, myself (so no foul anything is in the "outfield"), but in normal play, the player with the most likely chance to make the play you describe is the shortstop. Foul bunt, batter out.

So no foul bunt actually meets the definition. Somehow that makes the definition easier to ignore. |

Probably more like Texans can't imagine there could ever be a pitch they can't hit...

The point is that a bat stopping in the middle of a swing (your words, mind you), is still, in fact, a swing, not a bunt.

Yep. Rule 7.6.H - THE BATTER IS OUT (Slow Pitch)When the batter bunts or chops the ball.
But, you knew that.
