In baseball, a "drag a bunt" is a technique used by batters to manipulate the ball into a specific location on the field. This type of bunt involves the batter running toward first base while lightly dropping the ball in front of the plate with the intention of getting it to roll toward the area between first and second base. Synonyms for this maneuver include "push bunt," "tap bunt," and "soft bunt." Each of these variations refers to the same basic technique used to place the ball in a desired location while still allowing the batter to reach first base.
