I feel that I have not been clear enough. I am not saying or implying that
only holding the bat in the zone is a strike.
I am trying to counter (what I perceive to be) the idea that holding the bat in the zone, and not moving, is a ball (when the pitch is out of the strike zone).
Possible play: If the player holds the bat in the zone (anywhere, the middle or the edges), and the does not move the bat after the initial placement,
and the pitch comes close to, and in such a way that the it appears the player need not move the bat to make the bunt.
I feel that a strike should be called, as in my
judgment an attempt has been made.
