1 PERFECTING THE BUNT: Slap, Squeeze & Bunting for a Hit Cindy Bristow cindybristow@verizon.net FUNDAMENTALS OF BUNTING: Get in the FRONT of the Batter s Box Front of the box where bunter should stand Shows back of the box where some bunters stand Shows bunts from the back of the box that land in these red triangle areas are all foul
2 FUNDAMENTALS OF BUNTING: Start the bat at the top of the strike zone - easier to bunt the ball on the ground - any pitch above the bat let it go incorrect
3 FUNDAMENTALS OF BUNTING: Keep your feet spread and balanced incorrect CORRECT
4 FUNDAMENTALS OF BUNTING: Bend your knees to bunt any low pitch Keep your eyes as close to the bat as possible CORRECT incorrect
5 FUNDAMENTALS OF BUNTING: Let the ball hit your bat and let your arms give slightly DON T push to bat into the ball CORRECT incorrect
6 FUNDAMENTALS OF BUNTING: Bunt the ball DOWN on the ground BUNT FIRST - then run incorrect CORRECT
7 CONTROVERSIES OF BUNTING: Square or Not to Square for Sacrifice Bunt? Square Stance: both feet are even in the batter s box traditional stance that can provide more balance is scary for younger players & makes outside pitches harder to reach Stacked Stance: One foot in front of the other in the batter s box Provides better balance when moving for bunts and bunting faster pitching Can prevent happy feet bunters from stepping out of the box
8 CONTROVERSIES OF BUNTING: Level or Angled Bat? Level Bat: Traditional way to hold the bat for a bunt Easier to determine top of the strike zone Also makes it easier to pop up since the ball goes straight up off the bat Angled Bat: Top hand is the key for positioning much less traditional some players find easier not to pop up using this method
9 TYPES OF BUNTS: Slap Bunt Show HIT Show BUNT Pull Back for HIT HIT
10 TYPES OF BUNTS: Squeeze Better too early than too late to show Hold until ball on the ground Direct bunt at weakest fielding infielder
