How are you guys calling this?
How are you applying the NFHS new bunt rule in this sit?
Batter is squaring to bunt before the pitcher starts delivery. F1 pitches about 8 inches off outside corner. Batter leans over the plate extends bat across and several inches to the other side of the plate. As the pitch is on the way the batter realizes the pitch is a poor pitch to bunt at. Then batter begins pulling the bat away from the ball obviously intending to not bunt the ball. As the pitch is passing the plate the bat is being pulled back, but is not completely out of the strike zone. I'd say it's still at least 6 inches out over the plate.
I had to make this call and another very similar one to it tonight. Girls pulling the bat back but not getting it out of the zone as the ball passed the plate.
