On this one...is it a strike? I know I did this once on a bunt I belive. I pulled that bat back to me because it was coming inside but turned into the pitch instead of away. Got called a strike.

Dani,
It all depends on the plate umpire's judgement. If it is called a strike, then it's a strike. If not, then it's probably a ball. There's an awful lot of variables that may be in your situation - so many that it's got to be seen before any judgement here.
