The reason why I'm asking is because I am reading "myths" on a website and it struck me as something I wanted clarified.
Quote:
This myth has changed for 2009: The definition of a bunt attempt has changed, and now holding the bat in the strike zone is considered a bunt attempt. The batter is now requiring to withdrawn the bat in order to take a pitch.
Rationale: The new definition will make the bunt attempt easier for an umpire to determine and
creates a better balance between offense and defense.
