BUNT Meaning and Definition

1. A bunt is a specific technique used in various sports, most commonly associated with baseball or softball. In baseball, it refers to a deliberate and tactical approach where the batter makes minimal contact with the ball, aiming to softly hit it along the ground in order to advance a base runner. This technique is typically employed when there is an opportunity to sacrifice an out in exchange for advancing a runner into scoring position or to break up a potential double play. A bunt is executed by holding the bat out in front of the body with the hands positioned close together, and making contact with the bottom portion of the ball as it is pitched towards the batter.

   In softball, a bunt is performed similarly to baseball, with the intent to either advance a runner or to disrupt the defense's positioning. Bunting in softball often requires a faster reaction and more precise execution due to the shorter base paths and quicker infielders.

   The word "bunt" can also refer to other activities outside of sports. For instance, in boating, it is a technique used to maneuver or steer the boat by shifting the sail position or rudder without changing the course significantly. Additionally, in knitting, a bunt refers to a cylindrical shape or form created by rolling yarn into a tight ball or bundle.

   Overall, regardless of the context, a bunt is a deliberate action aimed at achieving a specific result through controlled and precise execution.

2. The belly or protuberance or bagging part of a sail.
