If the batter does not pull the bat back while in the bunting position, it is an automatic strike. FALSE. A strike is defined in part as, “A legal pitch that is attempted to be hit by the batter and is missed.” Merely holding the bat in the bunting position does not mean the batter attempted to hit the ball.
Is this true in NCAA, though?
