SECTION 8: Bunt A bunt is a fair ball in which the batter does not swing to hit the ball, but holds the bat in the path of the ball to tap it slowly to the infield. (the rest is irrelevant to this discussion). I see nothing in this rule stating that the bat need be moving to be considered a bunt, only that it be held. I am also aware that the rules also do not state that an attempted bunt is a strike. So to me would indicate that to be able to call an attempted bunt a strike, holding the bat in the path of the ball would have to be defined then as striking at the ball.

Thus we are left with the definition of a strike when that does not ocurr. No need to repost that. Your are clearly wrong in your interpretation. Tell me, is this interpretation held by all the paid umpires of the Bloomington Athletic Association, the "largest volunteer organization in America?" (Wouldn't that be a contradiction?)

Stop trying

Provide an example of an attempted bunt attempt that is not called a strike. I threw the ball. You had time to move the bat out of the way. The ball hits your bat on the knob of the handle outside the strike zone. Ball or strike?

I cannot tell you what the interpretation of every umpire in BAA is because, I am not in their head, and until I read this thread it was not an event that had crossed my mind. |

I hate to extend this topic past the OP, however the website says (bolding mine): "Known as the largest all volunteer sports organization in the United States,"
That seems contradictory. |

If B1 is holding the bat (motionless) "in the zone" and the ball passes the plate "out of the zone" then I don't see how the pitch could be anything but a ball. |
