He's right
In 2.00:
Strike(a) - is struck at by the batter & missed. It's a judgement call as to whether or not the batter offered at the pitch. Common practice is that unless the batter makes an effort to meet the ball with the bat he has not offered, ergo no strike unless the ball is in the strike zone.
Bunt - a batted ball not swung at but intentionally met with the bat...... The key words are "intentionally met".
If no effort is made to make contact with a ball outside the strike zone it should be called a ball.
