Slapping in softball began as a strategic technique to enhance offensive play, allowing batters to use speed and placement to reach base. It emerged as players sought to take advantage of defensive shifts and create more scoring opportunities. The practice likely gained popularity in the 1990s as teams recognized the effectiveness of quick, agile players in disrupting defenses. Over time, it has become a fundamental skill in fastpitch softball, particularly among leadoff and bottom-of-the-order hitters.
