A bona fide slide begins and touches the ground before reaching the next base. The runner should also be able to and attempt to reach the base with their hand or foot. They also have to be able to and attempt to remain on the base after the slide is over, excluding 3rd to home base slides. The slides must be within reach of a fielder and cannot make purposeful contact with a fielder or change their path to come in contact with the fielder.
