sacrifice bunts
Intentional productive outs
A sacrifice bunt is a baseball play where the batter intentionally taps the ball into fair territory to advance a baserunner while expecting to be thrown out at first.
The batter "sacrifices" their at-bat for the team's benefit.
With a runner on second, the manager called for a sacrifice bunt to move him to third.
