What is bunting in baseball?

Answer 1

A bunt is when you do not swing the bat, rather you move the bat about mid-chest, and let the ball's velocity do all the damage. Baseball players do this because it allows them to have a better control on the location the ball lands in. Often it is used as a sacrifice for a run.

Answer 2

you put the stick in front and hold it with both hands and let the ball tap it so that you get to first before the pitcher of third baseman can get to it and throw it to first
