What does it mean when you "slap" at the ball in baseball?

Coby asked

my response:

Slap hitters A.K.A. hands hitters...decent contact hitters w/o much pop. They rely on the 'one shot to connect at one spot' by swinging with a down angle...hands to the ball, and they excel at it because they patiently wait for their pitch. If you desire to hit with power, develop the slot position swing. With this style of swing, you give yourself a longer area of impact from start of the swing to contact point. You'll need a Tee and one of Jaime Cevallos' MP30 training bats. From my experience it's the easiest way/method to develop the slot position swing.
