Bunting Tip: PRESET Your Angle
Categories: Hitting
Written By: Ryan
A simple tip for getting a bunt down the line(s) is to PRESET your angle. Avoid keeping the bat square and trying to manipulate the barrel direction as the pitch is coming at you. If you’re going to bunt down third, adjust your angle as you get ready and visa versa for a bunt down first. If you get really good, try bunting the ball towards the end of the bat (to deaden it) along with a PRESET angle and leg out a base hit! They all count in the books, whether a single off the wall (Barry Bonds) or a bunt down the line. Remember “Perfect or Foul,” meaning give yourself a chance for a hit or keep it foul to get another pitch. Either way, NOT BACK TO THE PITCHER!
