Here is a slap coverage that we faced back in 12u. Our little slapper still managed to get a hit but you can get a feel for what it looked like. The first pitch was normal coverage and then they shift into a "slap" coverage. Not sure how common this is. I'm sure if there was a power slapper it wouldn't be so effective.

ThisBe careful doing slap defense on a player who can read the defense well and can bunt, soft slap, hard slap, or hit away depending on where you place fielders. Your pitcher better be able to hit her spot and hit it well!
