Check-swing

Occurs when a batter starts his swing but then pulls his bat back to allow the ball to pass. Check swings that are horizontal with the front of home plate will generally be called strikes. A batter might check-swing when a pitch looks like it will enter the strike zone and then starts to tail off.
